Dropbox is a great tool to store, synchronize and share your files. Think of it as a free USB flash stick on the web. It’s perfect if you’re working collaboratively on files or just need a simple and easy way to synchronize stuff across multiple computers.

Here is what Dropbox says about itself:

Dropbox is a free app that syncs your files across your computers and the web. It’s available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. After installing, you’ll be able to:

• Get to all of your files from anywhere you have Internet.
• Collaborate on team projects or share your files straight from your computer.
• Restore files you’ve deleted, or go back to previous versions.

I highly recommend giving it a try. The free version gives you 2 GB of storage, which is plenty for standard things like text or code files. If you use this referer link you (and I) get 250 MB bonus, so about 2.2 GB total.
