Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
Dropbox is a free and extremely easy-to-use tool for sharing files and syncing them between computers, and you can also use Dropbox to back up files and access them from other computers and devices (including from your iPad or iPhone, with dedicated apps for each of those devices).
Dropbox's interface is largely invisible, which is part of what makes this app so easy to use. When you install Dropbox on your Mac, you create a Dropbox folder. This is a local folder that lives on your Mac, but you can access the folder from other computers (Macs or PCs), or anywhere you have access to a Web browser. Even better, you can use this folder to share files with other people--either through a designated "Public" folder, or by setting up folders inside your Dropbox with shared access by multiple users that you choose (this solution can be particularly useful in work settings as a productivity tool, especially because Dropbox tracks older versions of files). You can also use Dropbox to back up your files online, although the biggest barriers to this are the size of your backups (you get 2GB free with Dropbox, or up to 100GB with a monthly fee) and the fact that backup files need to be located inside your Dropbox folder (there are some workarounds, though, for more technically savvy users). If you're already a Dropbox user, make sure you update to the most recent version, since Dropbox doesn't reliably do this on its own. Recent updates have added Growl-less notifications, the ability to pause syncing, and several stability fixes.
Dropbox gives you a lot of useful features for free, with a remarkably smooth interface and shallow learning curve. If you find yourself frequently transferring files between different people and computers by hand (either via e-mail or USB drives), Dropbox is a must download.
Dropbox for Mac - Back up and share your files - Download Video Previews:Publisher's Description
From Evenflow:
Have you ever wished that you could access your files from anywhere? We made Dropbox because we were tired of e-mailing files to ourselves or carrying around a USB key.
Once installed, Dropbox is just like any other folder on your computer, but with a twist. Any file you put in it will synchronize both to any other computers you may have on Dropbox, as well as to the web. Furthermore, any changes you make to any of your files will be sync'd up to all your other computers instantly, across Windows, Mac and Linux! Dropbox also makes it very easy to share and collaborate on files with others.
What's new in this version:
- Fix exclude CLI command to work on Shared Folders.
- Small tweaks

"Review and kind of a question ..."
Version: Dropbox 1.0.20
Pros
Very easy to use, the sync is usually fast and unnoticed (although I encountered a few "slow" syncs). Allows to share documents with colleagues very easily.
Cons
The default "growll" is terrible (good that it can be turned off), but they should have asked during installation if we want it (I hope it didn't install some "under the hood" software).
Summary
I wish to keep this program, however it looks as if since I installed it "Mail" is crushing quite frequently, in particular every time I switch a location (home, work, etc.) Mail quits. It almost never crushed (I am an OS X user since day 0) till I installed Dropbox - anyone is familiar with that problem ?

"Dropbox no longer works since installing the upgrade."
Version: Dropbox 1.0.20
Pros
Dropbox is dependable except for backing up databases.
Cons
Dropbox does not recommended the product for backing up databases and I agree. I have lost the same database 3 times.
