  • My Favorite Freeware Application

    Posted on September 24th, 2009 Matt 2 comments
    I have been using a great application for about a year now and I think it is one of the best freeware applications available. It’s called Dropbox.

    Dropbox is a multi-platform application which, when installed creates a folder on your computer.  Everything in this folder will be uploaded your Dropbox account online. Then, for each computer on which you install the Dropbox application, the files will automatically sync.

    Initially, I was interested in Dropbox to move music and pictures between my home computer and my work laptop.  Eventually, I learned the super-cool of storing and syncing application data.  Here’s a few of my favorites.

    • KeePass Password Safe
    • Google Earth
    • Photoshop


    I also store a bunch of portable applications in my Dropbox.

    Just recently, they released some collaborative functionality where you could configure various folders inside your Dropbox to synch with other Dropbox users.  I haven’t tried this yet.  But I like the idea.  It seems kind of like box.net, but without having to manually upload files.

    My wife, Nicole recently purchased a Macbook. Occasionally, she would express frustration that our password safe was on our PC (desktop) and not her sweet little Macbook. Can you see where this is going?.. That’s right Dropbox works on Mac too!  My password safe application also makes a Mac version which utilizes the same database format.  Now, when either of us need to use the password safe, we will be using the most recent versions synced

    For accepting my Dropbox invitation, we will both be awarded 250 MB of free additional space. Your dropbox account will begin with a total of 2.25 GB space!

    Here are the links to KeePass Password safe (also free)
