Dropbox File Transfer Is Good.

For god sakes post something new.

Ok, well, let’s see…

I discovered a couple of ways for easily transferring files across the internet...

You may have noticed on a couple of recent rants - since Morphine where it started - that there have been links to downloads in my posts. Not websites, but downloads. Click the link and the pop-up asks you were to save the file - And also a couple where you click it and it asks to launch your music player to play a song directly. You probably didn’t notice them...

There’s an application called Dropbox that Sean was asking me to set up to work on a file with him. The plans changed before we got there and I didn’t install it. But I later went back and checked it out - this was a fairly large file we were going to move in the original plan...

Once it’s set up (free and easy), there’s a folder (the Public folder inside of the main one) on your desktop that you put files in, any files, like an MP3, or a 700 MB movie -Yes really- You put the file into the folder, then right click it (the file) and choose Dropbox/Copy Public Link. Done. Then you paste it into an email or embed it into a webpage and when the recipient clicks the link it downloads, or plays.

If you check the link right away it gives you an error message, give it a bit, It did work. Two gigs of space free, more available cheap.

The other discovery is that you can easily transfer files with RDP too. Start/Run/MSTSC/Options/Local Resources – Drives. I guess I haven’t tried it across the internet yet, but it works great on my network. Drag and drop.
