We think DropBox is great.
One thing to watch out for is using a dropbox folder for a web site. This is what I mean: We have a web site on Win2003
with C:\Apache2triad. Works great and easy to set up for many domains to share a single IP address. If you drop
Apache2Triad into your DropBox, the web site will not work. You will get a message about illegal redirection or
something like that. We are going to try to put the dropbox on a different drive and so it is a copy of the
C:\Apache2triad and see how that works. Not sure how this might affect other things.
I know when you move a folder to your dropbox on the same drive, any shares you have are broken. You can re-share them
after you move them to the dropbox and they work fine on the local network.
No doubt that dropbox is a very nice product. You just need to be sure you have good backups before you begin moving
things into and out of the dropbox.

You wouldn't want to use this with active/open foxpro free tables, would
you?
