But once you jump from one pc to another, you continue to need access to the most recent
version of your most important files — whether it’s an important PowerPoint file for
a big presentation at work, a new website you’re working on in your spare time, your
todo.txt file, or the next chapter of your novel.
Carrying those important documents on a USB thumb drive used to be the
most painless way to ensure you didn’t end up with multiple versions of a document
spread across completely different computers, but a clever application called Dropbox (www.dropbox.com)
makes it easier than ever to access your most important files anywhere, without
creating duplicates or lugging around an external USB drive.
