I use DropBox ALOT. - To sync files across laptops / computers. - Share a directory with my fiance (got engaged last weekend) - Share a directory with the media center PC that powers our video wall - Share a directory containing proposals with agency partners - Share a directory with my accountant (that's about to end) - Open the occasional doc on the go in iPad / iPhone
Any small document (PDF, Word, Excel) is stored in DropBox by default. I need to unravel myself from DropBox and all the things I use it for and find an alternative.
