Anyone concerned about security in the cloud can also check out SpiderOak – insanely secure and half the price of Dropbox. I use both, as I need different functionality for different projects.

For freelance designers, I’d recommend http://contentcube.com .

It is a great online file storage and collaboration site that supports online previews of photoshop, illustrator and PDF files. Great for giving my clients a clean presentation of my work with the ability to download the source files.

I’ve been using Dropbox to synchronize my files in different computers just as it has been described in this article.

Can’t wait for a native Android application just as the iPhone one.

Happy new year to everybody!

I’ve heard about DropBox in the past but never tried it, but in the last weeks I’ve just discovered its benefits and I think that’s a great tool for backup and sharing purposes :)

Actually, I have used most of the file sharing/sync services as part of a research for my university

DropBox is a good free solution

but the best free solution I have seen is Mesh

you can check it out at mesh.com

Best Regards,

Sharing files with a client in a public folder?
No way… My clients wouldn’t be happy if they knew I put their files in a folder that anyone can access, and I believe your clients wouldn’t be happy too…

Telling a client to install software just to share files with him?
No way… All of my clients have secure FTP servers to share large files…

And you need to know that I love dropbox, but I use it only to backup my files, because once I upload them I can access them from anywhere. Dropbox is a great application but it has it’s flaws.

Does sound like a good program / service, however I don’t think I’d cope with just 2GB particularly with large image / psd files and I would definitely have to pay for the 50 or 100 GB option, but then it does seem a little pricey and I would probably opt for a manual back up system.

I just want to start off by saying that this is an excellent post. Take away the specific solution and this post still highlights the importance of backing up data and being able to easily share files. I haven’t tried Dropbox myself, but I use Amazon’s S3 for backups and file sharing. It doesn’t have some of the nicer features of solutions like Dropbox, but the price is a little more manageable and it provides some extra security features (ie. creating a url to a file that expires after a specified period of time).
