Have you guys used/reviewed Dropbox? www.getdropbox.com

Just so I don't look like a spammer, I'll tell you what I use it for. I'm a K-5 TAG teacher. I use Dropbox to keep my documents (projects/rubrics/plans) synced up on my computer with the cloud on Dropbox's servers. I can then access them through Dropbox's web interface (because I can't install Dropbox's client on my school computer.) It has made my thumbdrive obsolete. With the client running on my Eee PC, it updates any changes to files in the background. What's nice is that it only updates the changes, so it doesn't send the entire file to the server, just the changes.

Anyway, just a plug for a great "Cloud Resource" I use as an educator.
