I rarely carry a USB drive any more, now that I have found Dropbox! Not only is it a free online storage location, but it is cross platform as well! I can store a file in dropbox on my Mac, then open the file from dropbox on my Windows machine, my iPad, and my Droid phone! I have all my important documents accessible from anywhere (and yes, I do back them up offline, “just in case”).
I found out yesterday you can even share a folder inside your dropbox. As an Ambassador for FableVision Learning, I received an invitation to share a folder that contained a “yearbook” of all the current Ambassadors. We each have access to it and can edit our own contact information. VERY slick!
To start your FREE dropbox account go to: http://www.dropbox.com/ Once you open an account, there is a free app for the iphone, iPad, Android, and Blackberry, as well as downloading the application to your Mac or PC!
