Apple? Google? Who cares? You need to know Dropbox | via CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
Andy nails perfectly the beauty of Dropbox.
It’s a simple idea with far-reaching consequences. I can make some changes to this column here on my desktop, grab my netbook from the living-room sofa where I left it, and flee the house. If I want to keep working on it some more on the train into town, I won’t need WiFi: by the time I got up from my office chair, the file had already been updated to the netbook’s hard drive. That’s often the failure point of cloud storage, or worse, services that encourage you to use webapps for productivity. No access to the Internet means no access to your files. Not so with Dropbox.
Dropbox is hands down the best cloud computing tool I’ve ever used.
