I personally use it to quickly get my essential programs/mods after a fresh installation, it's great for getting items to and from your mobile phone. You have the option to share specified folders with friends, family or colleagues or even make a folder public. They have apps for all major platforms. Sorry windows mobile, I did say major platforms.
So it works like this:
- Sign up for a free 2gb account (up to 8GB from people clicking your link)
- install the app for you desktop (win, mac or linux),
- you now have a dropbox folder on your desktop. Any file you put in here will be automatically synced with the cloud.
- now install the dropbox app for your phone (android, iOS or BB)
- from the app you can see what is stored on the cloud (does not auto sync to the phone) and can choose what to DL to your phone.
- you can also upload single file(s) or entire folders. Great for making backups of material not already on your desktop.
