Drop Box

Dropbox offer a free version of 2GB and Pro versions for 50 for $9.99 and 100GB for only  $19.99 per month. They also offer referral incentives for free memory upgrades.

Backup Features:

 Dropbox online data backup service offers nearly every backup tool you are looking for, with the exception of the ability to configure idle backups (but users have suggested this feature in their forums, so hopefully they add this feature soon).

With this service you can easily schedule automatic backups and you can control bandwidth usage. Its online file manager is incredibly easy to use and finding and sharing files is simple. You can also easily configure email notifications, computers connected to the service, view your backup and memory status and upgrade your account. In addition, unlike many services you can access your files from multiple computers.

One of the coolest things about Dropbox is it keeps 30 a day undo history if all of your files; this includes access to files deleted from your local drive. Dropbox also offers an unlimited undo feature called “pack-rat” (requires additional payment).

Remote/ Mobile/ Web Access:

Dropbox offers some of the best sharing tools I have seen provided by an online backup service. They provide everything I was looking for in terms of sharing tools and they also offer a free iPhone/iPod touch, and Blackberry application.

With drop box you can share folders or image galleries with the public, through a link or by sharing with a controlled group. It is easy to create a folder for sharing, you simply create the folder with the items you want to share then send out invitations to those you want to share the folder. That's all there is to it.

Security: 

Dropbox can secure your data and image; it uses SSL for secure transfers and all files are encrypted with AES-256 before being stored on their servers. 

    Public folders are viewable by anyone who can find them. 

    Photo gallery links give access to anyone you share that link with to the gallery, though they cannot access   other areas of your account.

    You can also create additional folders in the parent folder that can be shared.

Backup Space/ Price: 

The pricing options on Dropbox are pretty good, and very reasonable.
    The Basic Package 2GB-Free
    The Pro 50 Package   50GB-$9.99 p/m
    The Pro 100 Package 100GB-$19.99

The will also give you an extra 250MB of storage for every referral, up to 3GB. The do not however have an unlimited option like Elephant Drive, Carbonite, or Mozy

 

Ease of Use: 

The online interface for Dropbox is pretty easy to use, and comparable to other products. However, the desktop interface is a bit different and may seem confusing at first, since it looks about the same as any Windows type folder. The only difference you will notice is the status dot on the folders and if you right click it will offer you Dropbox options such as browse via web interface, revisions and copy public link. Otherwise, as mentioned the web interface is easy to use and clean. It also organizes and displays images very well.

Help/Support: 

For support you can contact Dropbox by email only. We would have really liked to have seen this service support technical and customer support by chat or telephone as well. Online they post quite a few facts organized by topic and operating system. They also host a tour, a forum and a wiki module that will allow you to post or read others posts on tips and tricks, features, add-ons and more.

Summary:

Dropbox is an excellent product, with powerful sharing and syncing abilities. Just try out the 2GB free version and you see what we are raving about.

Sign up here, and give this a try. I am sure you will be as happy with it as I have been.
