I have been using dropbox for the last two months and am very happy with it. Dropbox is an online service to synchronize your files across your computers. I use it to synchronize my research documents. Here is a quick list of features I liked :
- Simple interface. Adds a folder in your file explorer (windows/mac). This folder can be used like any folder on your computer.
- Automatic synchronization. Modify files without worrying about synching them. Drag and drop to add new files.
- Saves the files locally and on the dropbox server. You can also access your files online from any computer using web-browser.
- Uses CVS like protocol (sending only the diff-file to the server). You can recover older versions of your files.
- You can create shared folders with other friends. This helps a lot when you are collaborating. You can share the files, without emailing them back and forth.
- You can essentially use dropbox as a CVS server.
