If you haven't heard about Drop Box, it's time you head on over to www.getdropbox.com and sign up for a free account. Free accounts come with 2GB of storage space and all the features premium accounts have, the only difference to premium accounts is the fact that you get more storage.

At first it took me a minute to think about what use I would have for it, but once I found out that programs such as 1Password integrate with it, I immediately took a closer look. With the way 1Password handles it's saving of password files, you can use the dropbox as your saving location. The way dropbox works is that you have a folder on your machine, which it uses for its storage. You can see the physical files on your computer and copy files into this folder, but everytime you do, this information gets transferred to the website. When you switch to let's say your laptop that also has dropbox installed, you can access thoses same files you just uploaded, immediately. Keeping that process in mind, rather than having to constantly sync files, everything is always in sync because the dropbox that each machines has access to, is basically the same folder in each case. This same idea counts for 1Password, and if you have it setup properly, you will never have to worry about syncing passwords. 

Another great feature of dropbox is the photo feature. If you upload pictures to the photo folder, it automatically turns them into a slide show that's very user friendly. Beyond that, you can share any folders in your account, including non photo folders and make them available to specific users, or to the entire public. 

All in all dropbox is one of those services where I really must say that the new internet is here. Aside from the fact that this service is free, it's also very well done and has already received numerous awards for its innovational concept.  This is a great service, it seems to be a great group of people running the project and one can only wait to see what else this group has up their sleeves.
