They refer to their technology as the “magic pocket” (see the video below to understand that definition) – Dropbox is a single secure place for all your stuff while allowing for automatic synchronization across multiple platforms and devices.
Sharing files with others is straightforward; you simply email the person you want to share with from within Dropbox. Within that email is a secure link that points directly to the files within your Dropbox that you want to share.
Now coming from a guy who decided a few months ago to go with Box.net instead of Dropbox, the ease of use and ease of sharing across platforms is a welcomed sign (I’m also loving any iPad specific apps since I’ve completely changed my workflow to revolve around the iPad instead of a MacBook laptop).
The top features touted in this iPad app are:
- Access to your data on-the-go
- Ability to view documents, spreadsheets, presentations, videos, and photos
- Export files to other iPad apps
- Default 2GB of file storage

This is a free app, and there are separate versions for the iPhone and the iPad. Go download it from the App Store here.
Have you tried Dropbox? If so how do YOU like it? Or, are you using a competing product?
