The cloud is here. Right now and you can take advantage of it for free. The secret is Dropbox. Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Never email yourself a file again. Once you install Dropbox in more than one computer, the contents of the Dropbox folder (which conveniently appears on your desktop as a link) will automatically synchronize between then ensuring the latest version of your file will be on any computer attached to your account. Pretty nifty, don’t you think? But that is not all. Pictures, we all have lots of those. In Dropbox, you can use the Photos folder and use the Gallery View and to see your pictures as a slide show, without having to store anything locally. All from their storage servers, yes, in the cloud. And you can email your friends a link to any of them.
But wait, there is more. You can share folders between Dropbox users making this a perfect collaborative tool. You can invite as many users as you want, (all have to be Dropbox users) and then you will all have full access to the files in the shared folder.
No, wait, really, there is more. Now, there is also an App for that. Yes, download the Android Dropbox app and you will be sharing folders, files and pictures from your hand held device.
Welcome to the Cloud. Nowhere to go but UP.
