iDisk dies, good old Dropbox

[GetCarter]

I've been using iDisk for years to backup and send files to clients, so I've been very late to dropbox. (iDisk goes in two weeks to be replaced by the hopeless iCloud... well hopeless for what I need anyway). What a great site dropbox is, and so well implemented. Sharing folders is so simple. I drop a file onto a folder on my desktop and it's almost instantly available on a folder on a client's desktop.

Free 2GB to back up photos and access from any of your devices.

I'm sure this is old news to many of you... but if not, check it out.

It's great, I use it all the time. You can increase the amount you get for free by getting friends to sign up and also things like setting you mobile to automatically load photos taken into DropBox (I did it for one photo, they increased my allowance by 500MB and I then switched it off...).

I've been trying to migrate my magazine clients to Dropbox from sending them CD's so much easier.

I have all my accounts on there so my accountant can check my paperwork whenever they need to

All the mags I deal with take stuff via dropbox. The iPhone/ iPad app is handy too as it gives mobile access to anything you've shared, either for reference or further sharing.
