One of my favorite new online services is Dropbox.

Simply create an account, install the PC, Mac and Linux-compatible software, and choose a folder. It will default to “My Documents/My Dropbox” on the PC and “[User]/Dropbox” on the Mac. Install the software on another computer (i.e. laptop or work computer) and Dropbox syncs all your files automatically.

If you make a change on a document on one machine it will near-instantly appear on all other machines you’ve installed Dropbox on. If you’re on a friend’s computer you can access the web interface and download, rename and delete your files, among other things.

A lightbox-based photo gallery and public folders are also available, which feature individual URLs you can share for individual folders or files. This is a very convenient method of bypassing your email’s file attachment limit to share files.

You can sign up for a free Dropbox account today.
