For the past little while we have been using dropbox form some of the specialized minsitry things that we are doing at work. We have used it for youth tings or for setting up oour wednesdsy evening service worship outlines and videos. More recently we have set it up for the office to work on documents that a number of us colaborate on. I think it has been really great.
If you don’t know what Drop box is, it is a way to share files on mutiple computers or divices and with other people. I have dropbox on my laptop, ipod and old desktop. When i change a file in one pleace or add a file on one divice they all sync and i have then in all of the locations. Also, you can access your dropbox files online. So if you forgot a file or need one and don’t have your computer with you, it is all good. Just log onto dropbox.com and sign in. like magic all of your stuff is there to download, print or share.
all of this is great, but if you work with a team on projects there is even greater power. You can share folders with folks that will allow everyone to have the most up todate working documents and files. There is no more wondering if the file you have is the most current or sending 8000 emails back and forth with little changes. It is all in one place. And if someone messes up/makes and unwanted changes or deletes a file, dropbox keeps previous versions so that you can recover old documents or undelete others. It is really cool, super easy and a huge time saver and frustration saver.
But wait there is more…all of this is free. oyu get 2 gb of stoage free. This is more than enough for what I use it for. Check it out and play around with it. Then share it with your team. What is there to loose? Click the link below and try it right now!!!
