Share, Sync, and Back Up Files with DropBox
Dropbox, is a service that lets you back up files, share them with others, and sync them with other PCs. I have been using Dropbox for close to one year now and so far I like it very much. It allow you to create a folder in your computer to store your files, which can then be synchronized online thus your files always stay up-to-date both online and on your computer.
Mostly, I use it for my school study materials, so that they are available everywhere I go, through the internet, and all the changes that I make can then be updated automatically when I login to my personal computer at home. I also keep a copy of my CV, which can come in handy if you need to update it from time to time.
Anyway, without much advertising, if you want to give it a try and get 2GB of free space online to store, synch and back up all your files (docs, pics, presentations, etc) here is a referral link from me that allows you to do just that: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE2MDMyMzk
Also as a mater of disclosure, the reason I am suggesting you use the referral link, is because if you do open an account (free) with them through the above link, then we can both receive an additional 250 MB of free space on top of the 2GB that everybody gets. It’s a win – win situation for everyone.
Update: Seven people have already accepted the invitation. Thanks

Good idea – installed now. I like Google’s documents too but this is more practical for stuff that’s just for me.
Jeroen,
thanks for installing it. I got the notice as well from Dropbox that you had joined.
I have tried several times to use Google Docs for collaboration purposes, but I don’t like it very much because you loose a lot of the formatting options and features that you get when you have the whole Word Document. Anyway, I hope that it will truly comes in handy as it has for me.
Elvis
Thankyou very much, very kind of you.
You are very welcome.
You are welcome to add your affiliate link for dropbox in your signature block on The Expat Directory. The signature block appears under you site listing, forum posts, articles et al. This way you can get some extra storage from those who read your articles etc and sign up.
This is a new feature so I thought I would let you know. Our aim is to provide recognition for those who help build the expat information resource (new facility coming in 2010). Most have added a link back to their blogs etc but this could be the winner for you. Free backups is a useful resource. I will sign up shortly
Have a healthy and prosperous 2010
