Dropbox is an excellent product. Sync'ing to the web is fast and does not slow down the computer. If you have other computers on your LAN running Dropbox, the LANsync feature makes sync'ing almost immediate. The web site is great too, showing details of recent activity on your account and shared files and folders.The free service provides 2GB space, but you can increase this to 5GB if you can get 12 referrals to sign up... each one gets you 250MB *and* the referred new customer also gets 250MB extra straight away. An excellent policy by the Dropbox folks.If you're looking to sign-up, please use this link and get yourself and me =) the extra 250MB space: http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEwMjA4NjE5OQ
