Does anyone in here use Dropbox?
I used this excellent free application to upload these flower pics I
took in my garden last week before the frost hit. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15210821/morning%20dew2.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15210821/P1040703.jpg -- Learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences,is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. |

Very nice. Thanks Val. Not my doings, my wife's. She has over 50 years experience of mainly flower 'pretty' garden. This is what it was like when we moved in (The ones with the white van in it). http://www.myalbum.com/Album=7GIMXOTH This was September 1986 when Thatcher had just started to do what Hitler tried to do, wreck the UK's manufacturing industry. We were lucky, we got out with a little, she wrecked lots of people's lives :-(( The other photos are during reconstruction. Mike -- .................................... I'm an Angel, honest !

I've used dropbox. You can use it to store large documents, or exchange files, as well as pictures. You can restrict access to files which is useful if there are confidentiality issues. Unlimited storage IIRC. Don't know if it's any better than the other options out there, but dropbox works just fine. -E |

Unlimited storage IIRC. 2 Gigabytes are free, if you want more you have to pay for it. You get an extra quarter of a gig free for every person you get to subscribe to Drop Box. We use it for exchanging photos etc. within the family. Don't know if it's any better than the other options out there, but dropbox works just fine. It was among the best three in a PC magazine test. Actually now I recall the slick thing about it (under Windows, didn't work for Linux of course): you install a little app and it keeps a desktop "dropbox folder" synced with the others in the group. That's of course useful for document sharing, but would be pretty nice for sharing media content with family etc. (Although I suppose there's facebook for that! I don't use it, but I'm the only one in the family who doesn't). |

Anything you put in the "my dropbox" folder gets stored online and any changes you make are automatically updated in the background. Couldn't be simpler |

Don't want to scare unnecessarily, but Dropbox have had some security issues this year - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06...ecurity_issue/ - and a more general issue about cloud based storage of this type - http://www.economist.com/blogs/babba...ernet_security Probably not a big deal for people storing/sharing photos:) -- regards andyw |

Which distro is that? ;) I used dropbox a while ago, perhaps this is new functionality. Just out of interest, do you have to install a daemon with your permissions? |

Well, it's a .deb file from their site so any Debian-based distro, I'm using Mint 10. Don't know whether there's a .rpm on there too, I didn't look. Like all .debs it has to be installed with the root password but the process shown by htop is owned by me rather than root. -- gardening on the beach in Jersey |
