Publisher's description
From Dropbox :Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account. Green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents.
CNET Editor's Note: Beta or prerelease software is not intended for inexperienced users, as the software may contain bugs or potentially damage your system. We strongly recommend that users exercise caution and save all mission-critical data before installing and/or using this software.

Version: Dropbox 0.6.402 beta
"Solid program, great functionality, easy to use"
Pros: Love this program! Doesn't take up a lot of memory, works exactly as intended, absolutely 0 bugs, no issues whatsoever. Use the client on multiple computers (work and home) to sync files you choose, or via a slick web browser interface.
Cons: None really, I just wish the space we got for free was a little bit bigger (more than 2GB).
Summary: I was looking for a program such as this one for a long time. This program is great, it automatically drops a folder in your "My Documents" folder (or wherever you choose), and whatever you put there, sync's with their secure servers. I primarily u... read more >>

Version: Dropbox 0.6.402 beta
"Awkward software construction"
Pros: +Great service
+Smart utilization of email server spaceCons: -Not user friendly
-Unclear file syncing "direction"
-"How can I suddenly be missing 4 paragraphs?"Summary: The style app is a must for anyone who works on the same project at multiple stations. Someone had on their thinking pants when they put email servers to work transferring file information between computers.

Version: Dropbox 0.6.402 beta
Pros: Very easy to use. It's what Microsoft Groove failed to do in terms of ease of use.
Cons: Folders can be shared with unauthorized people, so security is definitely an issue! They should set up an Admin for each shared folder who can then make security decisions.
Summary: Definitely still beta, though it seems to have been in beta mode forever without a single upgrade nor news about future releases or features. This could turn into something really powerful though.

"One of the Best Softwares ever!"
Pros: Easy to use
Compatible with WIndows, Mac and Linux
Zero Configuration
Low Memory Use
Easy Versatile Web Interface
Saves Revisions
Simple to assign Private and Public files
Easy to Build Photo GalleryCons: One time, there was a glitch and it did not save a Word document. The document showed up later, but it is necessary to close Word before it syncs online.
Summary: Overall, this is by far one of the best softwares I have ever seen. It is simple to use and I am quite dependant on it. It come with 2GB storage, which I find is fine for me. It might fall short for some people. I also like how the computer does not... read more >>
