Dropbox Features
File Sync

Dropbox allows you to sync your files online and across your computers automatically.

* 2GB of online storage for free, with up to 100GB available to paying customers.
* Sync files of any size or type.
* Sync Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
* Automatically syncs when new files or changes are detected.
* Work on files in your Dropbox even if you're offline. Your changes sync once your computer has an Internet connection again, so yes, kinda like a cloud app.
* Dropbox transfers will correctly resume where they left off if the connection drops.
* Efficient sync - only the pieces of a file that changed (not the whole file) are synced. This saves you time.
* Doesn't hog your Internet connection. You can manually set bandwidth limits.

File Sharing

Sharing files is simple and can be done with only a few clicks.

* Shared folders allow several people to collaborate on a set of files.
* You can see other people's changes instantly.
* A "Public" folder that lets you link directly to files in your Dropbox.
* Control who is able to access shared folders (including ability to kick people out and remove the shared files from their computers).
* Automatically create shareable online photo galleries from folders of photos in your Dropbox.

Online Backup

Dropbox backs up your files online without you having to think about it.

* Automatic backup of your files.
* Undelete files and folders.
* Restore previous versions of your files.
* 30 days of undo history, with unlimited undo available as a paid option.

Web Access

A copy of your files are stored on Dropbox's secure servers. This lets you access them from any computer or mobile device.

* Manipulate files as you would on your desktop - add, edit, delete, rename etc.
* Search your entire Dropbox for files.
* A "Recent Events" feed that shows you a summary of activity in your Dropbox.
* Create shared folders and invite people to them.
* Recover previous versions of any file or undelete deleted files.
* View photo galleries created automatically from photos in your Dropbox.

Security & Privacy

Dropbox takes the security and privacy of your files very seriously.

* Shared folders are viewable only by people you invite.
* All transmission of file data and metadata occurs over an encrypted channel (SSL).
* All files stored on Dropbox servers are encrypted (AES-256) and are inaccessible without your account password.
* Dropbox website and client software have been hardened against attacks from hackers.
* Dropbox employees are not able to view any user's files.
* Online access to your files requires your username and password.
* Public files are only viewable by people who have a link to the file(s). Public folders are not browsable or searchable.

Mobile Device Access

The free Dropbox application for iPhone, iPad, and Android lets you:

* Access your Dropbox on the go.
* View files from within the application.
* Download files for offline viewing.
* Take photos and videos and sync them to your Dropbox.
* Share links to files in your Dropbox.
* Export your files to other applications.
* Sync downloaded files so they're up-to-date.

A mobile-optimized version of the website is also available for owners of Blackberry phones and other Internet-capable mobile devices.

It's nice since it acts like a folder on your computer and you can access them from any computer/phone.
 
I installed it. Seems alright. I'll check it out over the next couple of days..

Next question:

How do you uninstall apps?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found out how.

Yah, I was like, WTF? You wanna install a device on my phone so you can know where I am all the time?

It's not accurate, though! While we were at home last night, the latitude showed up down the street., LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Otherwise, it would be something like this:

*Liam dials Juli's number*

"Soooo, you're about to pass a Burger King on the right in about 2 miles, can you stop and grab me a #4 with no pickles and onions?"

I'm loving it!

The keyboard is excellent. The need to press the function key for numbers doesn't really bother me at all. The device runs really well. No real lag at all. The tmobile android UI is great. The sound quality is superb!

I think June 19th is when they will rollout 2.2 to this device..
 
lol @ retarded Juli..

As you can see, Dupont Circle is west of my location. Therefor, I am not there. :)
