    It's a little pricey if you have a large collection take a look at live drive.

    I love it. I use it to share certain files and to work on projects at work. I use it to share family photos. I use it to store documents I might need to access anytime (pearl jam electronic tickets).

    It's a great service.

    Yes. It's so simple. And it's also good to become friends. I think there is an "invite" button or something. That gives you some more space. ;)

    I believe that YES. It's simple and fast to create a dropbox account.

    I think you also need to download a very small .exe file and run it.

    I think it's only 2g that's free, I have over 500g so that would cost 500 think livedrive was 150 for that same capacity.

    That's the starting point and actually all. You're not going to have more space for free than that. Only with some friends you can make it 2.5G maximum.

    I use it for school - it's awesome.

    But I also carry a 1TB harddrive and 16G flashdrive on me too. Digital space is a necessity these days with the audio and film production I've been doing in school... and the my music collection is constantly growing.

    The harddrive is wonderful to have with me for when I do my radio shows. So convenient.

    I use it a lot, and my little usb thumb drives are becoming obsolete except for large files.

    I carry a little 2GB thumb drive on my keychain which I never use any more. I just drop work files in dropbox in case I need to see anything while at home.

    I have google drive as well, but hardly use it. It's the same thing, but I like the dropbox interface a little more.
