I want to share an Excel file via dropbox. Not to download, but to work on directly with a couple of clients. We are making changes to it all the time and we’re having trouble based on who made the last changes. I know we could use Google apps but would rather not.

There are versions available for Win, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android™ and I think also for BlackBerry.
I have a Windows machine at home with Dropbox. My wife and I both have our Android™ phones, with Dropbox. They sync our KeePass database on the desktop.
Easy.

I have a few invites left which gives new users an extra 250MB of storage free. Just sign up through this link and you’ll get it.

For example, Scott uses it to sync passwords between machines. [...]

For now though, FYI if you are using GoodSync only to sync your RoboForm Data to our server it is 100% free in perpetuity, see our FAQ: https://online.roboform.com/faq#whatisgoodsync

It appears that I am using “goodsync” to sync my roboform data. Is there a way I can skip using goodsync b/c it looks like after a 30 day trial it’s no longer free. Is there a “Free” alternative? Your instruction would be greatly appreciated!

It seems I don’t end up with a local copy of files on mi ipod. So I can only view pdfs etc if I have wifi. Am I missing something?

- sync my favourites
- sync my password storage with keepass

I am also experimenting with a small TrueCrypt file (synching via dropbox) to keep a few personal things secure.

I have a copy of GoodSync (which I like a lot!) so that could work for me.

Thanks for the heads up.

Plus this works and all my data is already there.

I’ll take another look, particularly if it has Chrome support.

I’ve never experienced that sort of delay.
