I love the Dropbox program!
I have multiple computers that I use on a regular basis for different things. My main MacBook pro. But I also have an iPhone. Hopefully soon, I have an iPad. I also have a windows computer that runs slides in the hallway at church. Additionally, my wife has a MacBook. I'm always moving files around to different machines or wanting to have some of those files on my phone and will want them on my iPad (when I get it).
Dropbox is perfect for that.
It's free. You can create a free account HERE. It creates a file folder on the harddrive of your computer. Whatever documents, pictures, files, etc, that you put into that folder will be available on whatever other computers have access to that folder. If you want to share a file, document, presentation or whatever with someone else, you can create a shared folder with anyone. They can upload from anywhere they have internet and "boom!", it's on your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod or whatever you have it linked to (depending on your network speed and the size of the doc, pic, etc, it might take a couple of minutes to upload).
Easy peazy!!!
I use this program to share documents with folks around the office. My wife puts documents in there that she wants me to see or that we edit together. I put mp3s in there of music that I want our student worship band to check out. I put docs on there that I want to have access to on my phone. Good stuff.
You get a small amount to start out. But if you jump through a couple of hoops, you get some more. If folks join based on your usage, you get some more (up to 16gb). It's not great for moving huge files like 2gb movie files, as it take a while to upload (unless you start it and walk away for a couple of hours) but it still works pretty great!
Check it out and get started HERE. Would I steer you wrong?
