Dropbox

Dropbox is, in a nutshell, an online backup system, networking, and sharing software.  It hosts a synchronized folder that is placed on your computer, allowing you to share folders with people.  And you get 2 Gigs of storage free!

We use it at Capstone, and it has changed the world of office work for me.  No longer do I have to waste space on my external harddrive or flash drive just to transfer a file from one computer to another.  I use it almost daily for service prep.  John shares mp3s and chord charts of the songs we are doing that Sunday for us to practice, I create announcement slides on my computer, and then synch them up to dropbox, which shares them with the production computer.

The best part is sharing, because when you invite a person to dropbox, both you and that person get a .25 Gig upgrade.  You can purchase more space, like 50 Gigs and up, but for the church world, you really can get by with the 2 gigs and upgrade via sharing!
