I must admit, I am late to the game in learning about Dropbox. Starting in late 2008 and leading into 2009, this application has been getting some great buzz. In simple terms, Dropbox is a file syncing system that allows you to carry your files with you 24/7. You can have your iphone (or any mobile phone), or just web-access and your files are there waiting for you. If you are really into programming you can design some scripts which really turn on the power of Dropbox. For me personally, I use dropbox to carry around my podcast episodes and photographs that I need to use consistently. Specifically, with photographs, it provides the perfect syncing system for getting your mobile phone photos to your computer in a timely fashion without having to use the USB cord. Imagine if you didn’t have a USB cord and you were on the road. As I continue to learn more about this service, I implement it into my daily life. As I prepare to travel for the holidays, many times I find myself at a friends or relatives house and I want to share with them videos that I have acquired … Dropbox makes this easy for me. As 2010 approaches, job searching season will pickup steam. I will have two different resumes loaded in dropbox for easy access at any location I happen to be at. No more waiting to get home to get the right resume version and then sending it out. Just access it, create and email and hit send. As simple as that. I will be headed to the World Cup 2010 in South Africa and all of my itineraries and accommodation info is already in dropbox. I plan to add all photos and videos as well to dropbox during my trip which will automatically have my info backed up.

I am slowly falling in love with dropbox. Take a look at these five creative ways to use dropbox and this quick video as well.
