Tip of the Time: DROPBOX! Virtual HD

DropBox is software that aims to sync your files in a fast and easy way. With versions available for Linux, Mac and Windows, DropBox is easily installed.

DropBox provides 2GB of free space to each user, which can be expanded by buying a PRO account or referring DropBox to other people. For each person who registers on DropBox through your referral, automatically you and this person get an additional 250MB of space.

After installation, the program creates a directory called dropbox, where everything you drag into this directory is automatically synchronized with the DropBox server.

The service has a Web interface, where it’s possible to download via HTTP the files you sent to the dropbox directory.

Since synchronization is done automatically, you can use this service to sync files on two computers, easily dragging files to the dropbox directory.

Access: https://www.getdropbox.com/downloading

Download the version indicated for your Operating System, in my case I downloaded the package for Linux, after installation I just restarted nautilus using the command: killall nautilus

After restarting nautilus, dropbox is automatically initialized and its icon stays in the systray, next to the clock.

Enjoy!
