GetDropBox

This is a relatively new service, and one of the best I've seen for syncing files between machines as well as keeping a copy "offline" in case you lose your computer.

It's simply a folder (usually in My Docs) and you copy stuff to it and it automatically syncs it up. If you have other machines connected they will also update as well.

The link above gets you an extra 250mb with the free account, giving you 2.25gb.

Cheers,

I find the trouble is how much broadband bandwidth and usage I have left... though this is certainly good value for free.

I wonder how long it'll last this way though, will it be successful?

I notice that it uses Amazon's S3 for the actual storage. A good system, though no guarantee's on no data loss.

Yes, but think if you have 2 computers syncing then you actually have 3 copies of the file (one on each computer and one on the website)

I use a free product by Windows called Windows Mesh (www.mesh.com) which seems to do the same thing. I have found it good with it syncing new files to the other computer in a very short time. I am not aware of any limit.
