I can’t believe it took me this long to try out Dropbox. I’ve been testing it out since yesterday and I have been very surprised by it. Of course I had seen the introductionary video but I didn’t think it would live up to my expectations.
Had no problems installing it on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. Installed it from the dropbox repository but they also have packages on their site. Once installed, I was asked to make an account and within a few minutes I had everything up and running.
It creates a folder called Dropbox in your home folder. You can just drag and drop files in that directory like you normally would. Everything you put in that folder will be stored online. Synching seems to go very fast.
I highly recommend checking it out. And hopefully your install will go as smoothly as mine did.
