Share with DropBox, backup with Mozy
Today I would like to point out two online share & backup services I find very useful.
DropBox
DropBox is an easy way to share and store your files online. It will allow you to easily share files between you OS X, Windows and even Linux machine. They even have software that will integrate DropBox on all three previously mentioned OS’s in a drag & drop manner, so you don’t have to open your browser and log in to the DropBox web interface every time when you will have a file to share with your other computers or the public. You can take a Quick Tour on DropBox here, or read more ‘bout it on DropBox FAQ page.
DropBox is still a closed beta, but I have some invites left so if you’re interested just leave me a comment and I will send you an invite.
Mozy
Mozy is an online backup solution with support for OS X and Windows. Their software is fully integrated with previously mentioned OS’s and allows you to run backup profiles scheduled and automated (set it and forget it). All files uploaded are encrypted and stored in a secure, remote location. I’ve been using Mozy free 2Gb account for more then a year now and in my opinion it’s one of the best online backup services. Read more about Mozy here.
Sign up here for a test drive and permanent free 2Gb account. If you like cat, you can later upgrade your account to the unlimited plan for $4.95 / month.
