Another reason to use Dropbox

Dropbox is a free service that allows you create a folder on your Internet accessible device and synchronize the files over multiple devices.  For example, you type up a recipe on vacation with your laptop, drop it in dropbox and now every other computing device that you installed Dropbox on (home computer, ipad, smartphone, etc.), now has that exact copy available for access.  It is a cool way to synchronize important files over multiple devices.  A pretty cool feature that is not talked about much is that Dropbox archives all previous versions of whatever documents you saved in Dropbox.  So if you accidentally erased a document or made changes that you want to reverse, you can look at previous versions of the document in your Dropbox and recover it.  Did I say it was free too? (up to 2GB, paid version allows more storage)
