A small Windows app does the same syncing, with a right-click or manual folder picking.After installing the small app, you can run it, tell it where your main Dropbox folder is (if necessary), then hit a button and do the standard Windows folder-picking procedure to sync any folder on your hard drive to your Dropbox account.<br /><br />http://wiki.dropbox.com/DropboxAddons/DropboxFolderSyncThomas Gruberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642512342770899491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-3814140677059768162010-05-05T01:55:55.443-07:002010-05-05T01:55:55.443-07:00Dropbox Releases Android Client, Announces API and...Dropbox Releases Android Client, Announces API and BlackBerry App: <br /><br />http://lifehacker.com/5531226/dropbox-releases-android-client-announces-api-and-blackberry-appThomas Gruberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642512342770899491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-68387316069275800762009-07-21T03:50:48.317-07:002009-07-21T03:50:48.317-07:00@emma: We checked with our IT guru about the priva...@emma: We checked with our IT guru about the privacy concerns, and below is his answer. Without being IT security experts (but he is!), we feel pretty comfortable with Dropbox's security features:<br /><br />I took a look at Dropbox’s privacy policy and security measures. The Dropbox team seems to value security: all file transport occurs over SSL and files are encrypted with AES-256 before they’re stored on the site’s backend. AES-256 is FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) certified and there are currently no known non-brute-force direct attacks against AES-256. In fact, AES-256 security is strong enough to be certified for use by the US government for top secret information. So far, users can’t specify their own private key, but I’m content with the measures that Dropbox has taken so far. All files are encrypted before they are stored on Dropbox Servers so neither a dropbox employee nor anyone else could access the files.<br /><br />https://www.getdropbox.com/help/category/Security%20and%20Privacy<br />https://www.getdropbox.com/privacy<br /><br />http://www.truecrypt.org/ is not bad either, but has another purpose. With truecrypt you can encrypt a whole harddrive or a partition. This makes sense if you you use a Laptop and travel a lot. If in any case your laptop is stolen or you loose the computer then no one can access the files in the truecrypt encrypted harddrive or partition.Judy Jenner and Dagmar Jennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991071510108619107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-5862642562350938822009-07-20T01:42:08.535-07:002009-07-20T01:42:08.535-07:00It looks like a great tool!

If I understood correctly, Dropbox can access any documents you put in your own Dropbox, which isn't ideal for confidential documents. But for non-confidential documents, it'll speed up the sharing process no end.Emma Littnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-37561537252048688392009-07-17T13:55:59.923-07:002009-07-17T13:55:59.923-07:00@goodgroom: Yes, we've used Google Docs as wel...@goodgroom: Yes, we've used Google Docs as well -- great tool. We like Dropbox for documents on which we work one after the other, and love the fact that it's a shared drive, which is what we really needed.
