[Hidden-tech] Cloud-based file sharing

[Dan Gronwald]

Hi Cheryl,

I'd recommend Dropbox. Super easy to use. 2 Gb free but you can buy more and
access it from your computer and others can access your files, either from
their computer (by installing software) or by accessing online links you
send them (which sounds more like what you want to do). I have a free
account and share files/folders with friends/colleagues. Since I have a free
I can gain extra free space by referring others. That's all that's in it for
me. Seriously great program! If you choose to sign up you can with my
referral link here: http://db.tt/ogcd814

More info below:
Any file you save to Dropbox also instantly saves to your computers, phones,
and the Dropbox website.

   - 2GB of Dropbox for free, with subscriptions up to 100GB available.
   - Your files are always available from the secure Dropbox website.
   - Dropbox works with Windows <https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=win>,
   Mac <https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=mac>,
Linux<https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx>,
   iPad <https://www.dropbox.com/ipad>,
iPhone<https://www.dropbox.com/iphoneapp>,
   Android <https://www.dropbox.com/android> and
BlackBerry<https://www.dropbox.com/blackberry>
   .
   - Works even when offline. You always have your files, whether or not you
   have a connection.
   - Dropbox transfers just the parts of a file that change (not the whole
   thing).
   - Manually set bandwidth limits -- Dropbox won't hog your connection.


Shared folders allow people to work together on the same projects and
documents.

   - Invite friends, family or teammates to a folder. It'll be as if you
   saved the folder to their computers.
   - See other people's changes instantly.
   - Create photo galleries viewable by anyone you choose.
   - Send a link to any file in your Dropbox using your Public folder.



Kindly,

Dan
