The last six months I have played with several Cloud Based File storage sites. I had been using Microsoft’s Beta of Live Mesh to Sync files over multiple computers. Part of the issue with Live Mesh is that it will not let me retrieve files from my Iphone. This is a big consideration for me because I am always on the go. The solution for my problem was to switch from Live Mesh to Dropbox .
Dropbox is a service that will let you sync files between multiple devices. This devices can include a Microsoft Based PC, a Mac, a Linux based computer and and IPhone. That is a great selection of devices for me since I use 3 of the 4 devices including the IPhone.
Drop box is really easy to use. You install a client software on each computer or the Iphone that lets you drop the files you want to sync into the drop box container. When you log into another pc which has the Dropbox client software on it, you now have access to those files. It is really that simple. This is one of the reasons I like the service so much is because it is not hard to use.
For me Dropbox has become a service which I install on every computer which I use.I really use it that much.
Below is a YouTube video which I found that shows how Dropbox is used:
