Got a new machine today… Installed DropBox and all my work, essential and shared files synced across from the cloud in a jiffy… Swell! If you use more than one computer, or are just looking to effortlessly backup some essential files online, you should get in there. See the demo on YouTube or a write-up on Tech Crunch.

“Dropbox is a designer’s dream. When you’re working on a new site in Photoshop, or making some crazy icon set in Illustrator, just keep the files in Dropbox. That way, if you screw it all up, and you don’t have the undo history, you can fall back on the revision history. Also, since Dropbox only sends the parts of the file that are different each time it’s saved, saving your 100mb Photoshop file only takes a couple seconds because all it has to do is save the changes. Plus, you have online backups in the case of a hard drive crash, and you can easily ship them mockups out to clients via the public folder.” - Capsize Designs
