No such thing as “too many computers?” Yes, there is.

Three computers means three filesystems, three systems to shuffle via USB jumps, network shares, and FTP. It’s quite counterproductive. There are plenty of solutions out there (SyncToy, GSpace/GDrive, scheduled tasks) but most create more work than they save … except DropBox.The time value of this product is amazing! The free account allows me to synchronize 2GBs of information with minimal effort. At a glance you easily see real-time updates, and task-tray Toast tells you when larger changes are made.The Web interface allows you to revert to previous versions or undelete files, automatically syncing with all your managed computers. Security settings allow you to manage and unmanage computers. Even photos can be shared.

Check it out! Friends, use this link to sign up: Get DropBox. You’ll be helping me while helping you. =)

It looks like DropBox (a product of Evenflow, Inc) is yet another great startup that received partial funding from Y Combinator.
