I use Mozy as my primary backup tool, but I use Dropbox as a convenient way to keep synchronized files on several computers (mine or others). When you put a file into your Dropbox folder, it adds/synchronizes that file on any other computer with the same access and password. So I can take my laptop or netbook into a library, update one or more files, and know the same files will be updated on my computer at home. I've even used it to transfer files between computers--easier than copying. Dennis In a message dated 11/22/2011 12:10:01 A.M.
