Dropbox - an easy way to share files without emailing

For anyone operating without Dropbox, I strongly suggest reading this short review.  I have been using it myself for a couple of years and it is great for the following:

• Security - gives you a copy of the file on your hard disk and in the cloud
• Ease of access - keep multiple machines up to date with the same versions of files
• Share access to work on files with a group
• Even access from your smart phone  
• Safer and more reliable than memory sticks (unless your phone is insecure)

The basic version is free!  Go to www.Dropbox.com to get started.
