So do yourself a favor and drop some files or directories online.  You can even share those with others.

Anyone have grandchildren or any other photos they wish to share with friends and family? This allows you do 
do that on a grand scale without wasting time emailing single photos.

How to use it to back up your files
Uncomplicated. Download the program, open it, drag the folders/and or files you want to store online into it. 
When you change contents of a folder or file be sure and open dropbox and replace the file or folder with the 
new one.  If you lose a file or folder, open dropbox from www.dropbox.com, login and and retrieve it from 
Dropbox back to your computer.

WARNING: When you delete files from dropbox, it also deletes them from your computer. You can undelete them 
but then you have to  save them back to your computer which is a time consuming process. You should also have 
a backup on a second harddrive of your most important files.

Share your files with others by using the Public folder.
See an example of how this works by going to www.detailshere.com/amegaglobaldocuments.htm 
Select one of the blue links, like AmGizer since it opens quickly,  and you will see the file I have stored on 
dropbox for all to see.
Second example: Go to www.detailshere.com/heavencantwait.htm 
Select any one of the blue links, the first is a pdf cover sheet, but the rest are audio links that contain too many 
megs to send as an email, but by using dropbox you have access to the whole series that tells you how you too 
can  get a visitation to heaven. Jesus wants us to see what heaven is like. This lady has perfected the process.
Follow her instructions and you too can know that heaven is real.
The Public Folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox.  Any file you put in this folder gets its 
own Internet link so that you can share it with others-- even non-Dropbox users!  They don't have to login to 
DropBox to see these, just have the correct URL to go to.
These links work even if your computer is turned off. 
Step 1:  Drop a file into the Public folder.
Step 2:  Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies the Internet 
link to your file so that you can paste it somewhere else.
That's it!  You can now share this file with others: just paste the link into e-mails, instant message conversations, blogs, etc.
Note: You can only link to actual files within your Public Folder, not to folders.

Store your photos 
so family and friends can see them to. Beats emailing them photos one at a time.
Dropbox photo galleries allow you to share photos with anyone (even non-Dropbox users). These photos 
will be presented in a photo gallery that is viewable online. Each gallery has it's own specific URL to go to.
Just give your family and friends the URL to the specific gallery you created and they can go right to it.
Step 1: Make a folder inside the Photos folder, and give it a name (this will be the name of your photo gallery)
Step 2: Put photos inside the folder you just created.
That's it!  Now you can view and share this photo gallery online by going to http://www.dropbox.com/photos
Note: Linking to galleries is limited to folders within your Photos folder. You also cannot link to the Photos folder itself.
Example: Try this URL   http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/7953319/1/Cubby%20and%20Muffy?h=fe684b
