Dropbox

I've been using a program called dropbox for a few weeks now. It has made my life much simpler. I used to e-mail myself homework assignments, papers, etc so that I could print them off at another location, or I had to keep track of a thumbdrive to work on a paper at a different location. If I forgot my thumbdrive or forgot to attach the doc to the e-mail I was out of luck.

Enter dropbox. You sign up at [|www.getdropbox.com] It creates a folder on your desktop. This folder continually synchronizes to the web. I have dropbox on my laptop, home computer, and work computer. If I start writing a paper on my laptop but the battery dies I just save it go home and open it up on my desktop. You can also directly access your files on at [|www.getdropbox.com] and its there. The first 2 gigabytes are free.

This program has made keeping up with note taking, paper writing, homework assignments, and everything else a snap.
