Dropbox is an application that creates a special Finder folder that automatically syncs online and between your computers. It allows you to both backup files and keep them up-to-date between systems.
The Dropbox application is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. A video on the site explains more.
LUISFCOSTA88 Well... until dropbox incorporates the feature to watch arbitrary folders into the client, you can always use automator + service menus to achieve the same results via a symlink. You don't even need automator if you don't mind using the terminal. Aliases will not work though. use this as a start: http://seiryu.home.comcast.net/~seiryu/symboliclinker.html (Version 0.7.97)
RICHARD APPLEBAUM To mitigate security issues, why not just encrypt sensitive files that are being kept at Dropbox? Perhaps use TrueCrypt (Open Source - free) to create an encrypted folder in your Dropbox folder? (Version 0.7.97)
JONNYG75 Ok, this might be obvious, but i haven't found the answer yet. Everyone says this is better than mobile me, but how do i sync my safari bookmarks? (Version 0.7.97)
MACED Dropbox just replaced the iDisk part of MobileMe.
I am also using Gmail/Google Apps for IMAP mail (using my own domain instead of this ugly me.com) and fruux for addressbook, ical and safari syncing. (Version 0.7.97)

MACED dropbox is just like google! suddenly they where there and now you can't imagine the internet without them! great everyday tool! (Version 0.7.97)
MACLOVER1.1 DropBox is actually... well better than my MobileMe... I keep having issues with MobileMe synching and will not keep my membership which is ending next month. I thought Apple would catch up but obviously they did not. I love to love Apple but not to the point of being stupid lol End of story. (Version 0.7.97)
