I use dropbox between home & the office for small files, but this is not really viable in SA unless our prices/speeds improve drastically.
Errr....what about Microsoft Skydrive? http://explore.live.com/windows-live-skydrive
I use the Gmail Documents feature. Very handy.
+1 I like Windows Live Skydrive.Originally Posted by lord_spaceman

Skipping Google Docs in this article is quite tragic.
Edit: Having said that, interesting article none-the-less.

Just uploaded my sisters docs to her Dropbox. Took forever so I checked whats going on....uploading 800mb over 128kbps takes a while.
The actual upload is slower than 128kbps though. Like half of that. :/
I personally find Windows Live Mesh by far the easiest & fastest with syncing....tried the others & came back.
Personally i love dropbox. Easy to use and simple to setup. lets not forget free.
There's also a local alternative at https://www.info.co.za/

Telkom, Neotel, ICASA and the DoC are national embarrassments.
We will not be silent.
Extra 768mb Dropbox space here:

free 25 GB, yes please
edit: I see the automated sync tool SkyDrive is limited to 5 GB though.

xor ax, ax
Am I the only one with issues about security on these things or does everyone only use it for non-critical data?
Wow.....and you get a whole megabyte for free.
Honestly the fact that you simply install dropbox then use it like any ordinary directory is the big seller for me... no manual labour involver what to ever.
Insert witty comment here...
