As i know almost of my friends @ da uni use pen drives (USB flash drives). They usually carry assignments, important documents, photos of GF or BF ;-) and etc., This is very dangerous becoz usually pen drive is not very reliable device and it can be lost or stolen by someone easily.
Your computer’s hard disk is also vulnerable for failures and can be virus affected also.
The result is losing ur assignment that must be given tomorrow. Then finally freaking out!!!
The ANSWER is storing the files online. There are various free sites that give this service but i use “Dropbox”. It hav lots of features to explore.
I will list some feature that i like most,
1. There is a desktop client which will integrate with a folder in ur hard disk which can be synched online. There re offering clients for Windows, Linux and OSX. Cool!!!
This means u can synch files over several computers.
This is a screenshot of my dropbox and the menu. U will see which files or folders are current updated or synchronizing.
There re giving out a 2GB account free, if u want to upgrade it is possible.
2. There is a web client which will be accessible @ www.getdropbox.com
This site is very feature rich and easy to learn. It uses https protocol which is more secure also.
3. U can also share certain folders with ur friends. They wont be allowed to other files or folders so it is great in team work.
Hope u will give a try!
U can get dropbox @ the link below,This my referral which will give 250 MB free for both of us so if u re interested go to it & download!
