Dropbox


Dropbox is software that is resident on your computer, but that stores your files in the "cloud". Even better it syncs your files online and across your computers.  So if you change a file in dropbox. it'll  be changed  everywhere you have dropboxes.  Free service allows saving up to 2GB.  

Classroom idea:  This could be a great tool for students working on projects, because changes would be immediate.  I like the idea that the dropbox is resident on your computer ( or as an app on smartphone), because I have noticed this is "comforting" and a familiar way to save.
