In this video, I show you how I use Dropbox and how it helps me in my freelancing work.
When I bought a new computer recently, the very first thing I installed on it was Dropbox. Having it in my new computer meant I had access to my most important files–without having to copy and paste from one computer to another.
Dropbox helps you to:
- automatically back up files
- share files with people you specify
- ensure files you share with others are synchronized
I forgot to mention that, with Dropbox, you can access your files either through a web browser or on any computer where you have installed Dropbox.
You can get a free Dropbox account with 2 GB of memory space. If you need more, the premium accounts are priced reasonably.

Binfer is a great option to send large files directly from computer to computer, without uploading to a server. You can send hundreds of files of any size with a simple drag and drop. Binfer will manage the transfers with auto resumes, encryption, notifications etc. Check it out: http://www.binfer.com
Thanks for the info Shannon! Just a note for the readers that Binfer is free up to 1 GB a month. After that, you have to pay depending on the file sizes you need to transfer.
