Title: Dropbox.com
Post by: ERU on November 14, 2011, 19:44:21 PM
Good evening lords n ladies,

It seem i'm in need of sharing some files up to (and maybe over) 2gb with a group of people. I've just been looking at the free to use Dropbox but it requires downloading software ... I hate bloatware ...

Is there an online alternative nowadays? Pref without installing crap onto my computer.

I know I can use my NAS but don't have the time for all the faff.

Cheers
ERU

You can use dropbox via your browser, you don't have to use the software?

Also if you haven't registered yet, use this link and I get some extra space :) You get an extra 250MB as well

Bloatware?
They way dropbox works is brilliant. Runs as a folder in background, put stuff in and it just works like magic with almost no hogging of anything. Then as others have mentioned, Mac, PC, linux, IOS... All linked and you can say what computers sync what files and run through the browser and through their site if you deleted or replaced files you can see them and the previous versions so you can restore them!

If you've got an android phone/tablet, install Dropin.

Any Photo's or Videos you take will be uploaded straight to your drop box when you're in range of Wifi.
