Dropbox for synchronizing files among different computers

Dropbox is a wonderful web service that allows you to synchronise your files among all of your computers. The web site offers a program to install to your computers, and it creates a folder named Dropbox in all computers. You can then move any file you want into this folder and it will automatically be detected and synchronised with the web service. The next time you use another of your computers, the file will be synchronised with that computer as well. All of your changes to the existing files in this folder will also be synchronised among all computers. Moreover, you can access all of your files using their web interface. So, even if you are using a friends computer, you can still download any of your files. Now, isn't this awesome? And it all comes for free. Dropbox offers you 2gb of web space for free, but you can register to their advanced service for a small fee if you need more space.

You can also use the following link to register, which will immediately give you (and me) 250mb more space. This is even better than directly going to their web site for registration. Seriously guys, this is one offer that you don't want to miss:
