Dropbox is a great little app I found about a year ago for backing up all your important files and making them available anywhere in the world, as well as syncing them to any other computer you have linked to your account.
For example, if you’re working on a document on your computer, any changes you make to the document will instantly be reflected on your laptop or iPhone so you don’t have to bother with a flash drive or e-mail.
I’ve found it ridiculously useful for all my uni work as it saves up to 30 days of revisions to any file. So for example, you mess up some piece of source code and you want to get the version back from 3 days ago at 3 o’clock, then that’s possible via the Dropbox website (Obviously no replacement for SVN but handy anyway). You just select which version you want to restore, and then that version is pushed back to all your devices with Dropbox installed! You can even recover deleted files and it works on Windows, Linux, Mac and iPhone.
Sign up for free here and get an extra 250mb on top of the standard 2Gb that you’d usually get.
