Dropbox support for Mobile devices

Have been using Dropbox quite sometime and it keeps my files in sync on the web and all across my computers. Read more about Dropbox here

Dropbox adds support for mobile devices as well. If you visit the website from any mobile phone, you are redirected to the mobile version of the site, which lets you download your files to your mobile phone. I tried it out on my Nokia N97 and it even lets you update files onto your dropbox online folder (Just choose the normal version over the Mobile version on the page and upload using the basic uploader).  Signup for Dropbox to sync across all your devices.

The Dropbox already supports the Iphone with its native Iphone app which lets you sync files with your iphone as well.

Dropbox – sync your files across computers

Set up Dropbox (http://getdropbox.com) and installed it on all my laptops. Now that should keep them all synced. I always had trouble carrying around files on a USB drive. Especially when I think that USBs are meant to run operating systems and not to carry files.
Now that lets me access all my synced files from anywhere in the world, not just my laptops. But then its a bit of redundancy. Why would I need to sync files across machines, when I carry my operating system with me?
Dropbox is easy and lets you sync upto 2GB for free. Just download Dropbox and signup with an email address and password. The dropbox folder inside your My documents folder is just another folder, except that its synced across all your linked computers.

Still haven’t tried Dropbox for Ubuntu, which reminds me..I’ll need make a post on the Ubuntu installation as well.

Posterous – Use your email to post online

Once in a while comes a service so useful that it changes the way you do things drastically. Posterous has to be one such service. Right from the ultra easy signup procedure to the basic concept on which the service is built.

Posterous lets you blog, tweet, friendfeed, facebook and interact with many other sites using simply your mail account. Now that makes things so simple. True, there are other services like tumblr which let you post online using a mail. But posterous ensures that you do that much more easily. No need to remember those cryptic email addresses. All you need to do is, to mail post@posterous.com. How easy can it get? which means that you needn't even register at posterous. Start posting those blog posts, photos, videos, stories, news and anything you care about just by sending a simple email.
It even allows you to post to more than one site at the same time, just a single site or to all the sites at once. Now that makes life a lot more easier. My blogging engine now rests inside my email client!
Check out more about it here!  
And yes, this post was mailed to posterous…
