Its called Dropbox and its a revolutionary system for syncing across multiple platforms and requires no sophisticated setup, in fact very little setup at all.

The way it works is by integrating itself into the system your using. So for example you have a folder called ‘Dropbox’ and everything within there can be synced across the web as long as you install Dropbox on the target computer and sign in. Rather than having to click ‘update’ or ‘sync’ or whatever and have to wait while all the files are uploaded or checked etc. Dropbox simply uploads the changes in the file only, therefore saving on bandwidth and increasing the speed of the service.

Obviously there are limitations with this and only certain applications will supported (I presume) but the implications are wide reaching. A long with this, you don’t have to click ‘update’ or ‘sync’ on the destination computer as it is reflected as soon as it detects changes to the online folder.

There are loads more features and I’ve already signed up for the public beta and I suggest you do the same. This could be THE way of sharing and syncing information.
