Preview: Dropbox


Dropbox Beta. In case you are wondering what Dropbox is;

Dropbox is a desktop application (for Windows and Mac OS X) and storage service that just works. It’s the easiest way to share and store files online and keep files in sync across your computers.

Here is a video demo which explains everything about Dropbox. It’s still in beta stage and invitation only. Beta users get 2GB free space. Setup is pretty simple. Create an account, download the client software and you are ready to go. Just drag and drop the files in your Dropbox folder you want to sync. Soon they will release Linux version too along with bunch of new features.

Since it is in early beta stage, expect some glitches such as uploading speed. Also you cannot select custom Dropbox location which is a major shortcoming. Overall, I’m pretty impressed with the concept and how its taking shape. I can see it is going to be a huge success provided basic service remains free.

Oh one more thing, I get to invite 10 more people for beta testing. So, if you want to try it out, just let me know.
