Dropbox is an amazing online synchronization website for storing your files online and keeping them constantly synced between machines. You can use it to create public links for sharing on the internet, or even share some or all of your files with specific people. It's also pretty good for online backup in general and even file revisions.

When you create your account, you get 2 gigs of space for free. When you refer users, you get an extra 250MB of storage each user, up to like 8 gigs and I'm trying to get my number up.

If anyone is interested in dropbox, use my referral link. :)

I'd help you, but I already have Dropbox.

It's REALLY useful. I got it when I was pissed that my HDD kept crashing and losing all of my save files, so I made an automatic .bat file that copy the save files to their own dropbox folders, once the dropbox folder, they get uploaded automatically, so easy automatic backup!

You can also use the same accounts on two differents computer, like your home computer and your laptop, so the dropbox folder will be the same between the two computers, so you could make a reverse bat file to automatically copy the save files to their game folders so you can have the save files on your laptop. Also useful if you use a laptop for school work. Take notes, put it in your dropbox folder, connect to the net at least once, then the next time you're connected on your home computer, the files will be there.


If anyone is interested in the .bat file idea but have no idea how to make one, I have some small FAQS I wrote about it a while ago with my current .bat file at the end for reference. Attaching it to the post didn't seem to work, so if you want it, just ask

referral thread eww

Everybody that would want it probably already has a dropbox account. :( Certainly my experiences with threads like this elsewhere recently. (I wonder what's with the sudden dropbox boom?)

Haha, I dunno.

I've had dropbox for several months. I just happened to reinstall Windows and was using it to store some of my important files while I made sure my computer was going to stop shitting all over my documents.

I was trying to push my space higher for that reason.

I've somehow managed to avoid getting into this dropbox thing up until now, so sure I'll take the referral. I guess I'm just not "with it" anymore these days.
