Over the past few years as “the cloud” has become a source of delivery it has also become a place for your repository. I write on this blog if nothing but for myself. Backup has become key when services such as Mozy, Carbonite, and my personal favorite JungleDisk have become key players in cloud storage. While these services cannot be construed as expensive they are still not free or less than free. These solutions are not good a syncing across say my work and home computer.
Others have used services such as gmail with plugins. Or better solutions such as SkyDrive or Mesh. The problem is these services have a limited amount of data available for sync.
Dropbox.com is finally the solution that I wanted. Web and desktop synchronization. This solution tops my web application of 2009. Dropbox is the perfect solution to say a Mesh/Jungledisk hybrid. The software is simple to install and configure. I can access the web from anywhere and my folders are in sync when I work from home.
