DropBox – The best way to share files online!

Normally, if I ever wanted to share something online I would head over to Megaupload and upload it for someone else to download. The problem with this is that it took me a very long time to upload the file (or files) and it would take the other person a long (if not longer) time to download them.

There is a much faster way of sharing files online now and that is DropBox. You can go ahead and download this and create an account, there are three different account types at the moment which are:

Free online 2GB storage
$9.99 a month for 50GB of storage
$19.99 a month for 100GB of storage

When you install this, it just creates a folder on your hard drive (in your main documents folder) called DropBox, you can simply drag and drop anything into this folder and it is instantly shared online! Download, install and log into your account on another computer and you can access these files again on your other computer. You can access all these files through the main website when you log in as well instead of having to download and install it over and over again.

Even though this is just online storage for yourself, you could create an account for sharing files instead of uploading them all the time on sites like Megaupload, just create an account and give the account details to your friends so they can log in and quickly download/copy over whatever you’re sharing.

It’s just dragging and dropping files into a folder, fast and damn well easy! Prices aren’t bad either but for now, I’m on the free 2GB version and it’s lasting me quite a while.
