Dropbox is a new tool for file synchronization, still in beta phase. You have to register and install a small program (available for Mac OS X and Windows). On both platforms it will offer you a tray icon. By clicking on it you get either an Explorer window with your data or you get connected to the web browser view.
With drag and drop you can move your files to this drop box and they will be automatically synched on the next connection from another machine or online in case this machine is already connected. You get at this stage (beta phase) 2 Gigabyte for free. They announced that 1 Gigabyte space will keep beeing free of any fee after the official release.
The application offers to maintain copies of deleted files in the web frontend.
You can share your information by inviting people to your site or sending them the link.
If you want to have more space you have to buy their offers.
