The tip that will safe your life…or at least your files

October 17, 2008

in Innovate,Link of the day


I have spent the last 14 years making sure I don’t loose my files. Work, offers, project plans, cv’s, mails, photos, music etc. Everything that is valuable has a certain place on my computer. Loosing all these things would be a disaster, so I back up, burn DVD’s, hide copies here and there. But the fear of loosing it all still makes me shiver.

No more! Yesterday Andreas Wålm, hardcore developer at Devcore, introduced me to Dropbox. WOW. Instant buy now!

I have 5 invitations left.

ps. That image above, it’s included in the receipt-mail when you upgrade the account. I just love it.

    The Cloud rules =) Still, beeing the back-up geek you say you are, do you trust a public beta with all your files? It serves as a great complement though.

    Send me one of those invites please.

    Haha. Thanks for the invite! Should have started an account before I sent my Mac away for repairs.

    Paying for the 50Gig version?

    Well I’m not sure if Dropbox is meant to be a complete solution for backup but sure is a nice complement and makes it easy to share files between all this devices you might have ;)
    Also has good iPhone interface to browse your files/documents.

    Best backup for Mac is SuperDuper! full disk copy. Restore a Mac in just minutes or make hd upgrade easy.

    Don’t know what it’s meant to be used for. I do know what I’ll use it for ;)

    Max, you got one.
