It seems that the days of those usb pen/flash/whatever you call them drivers (usb drivers) are nearly over. Well, I may be overacting, BUT, with this application, is one step ahead. Basically dropbox is a straight forward file share system what let you 

1. Store virtually any file at a centralized location.
2. Access those files ( music, photos, documents, you name it) with your desktop, laptop, ipad, iphone, Blackberry, even through the web browser.... with everything!... well I tried with a coffee machine but didn't worked for me.
3. SHARE. Its all about the sharing right? You can select which files you want to share by specifying the people.
4. Its always in SYNCH! The system do some sort of magic ( well, it's a trigger event with a http request sent by the server, but you all guys know that) which automatically keep everything in synch!
5. History. Who changed who when by what and where with it or she... Basically it gives a trace of when files where uploaded, which is neat when you need to keep trace of them.

Check out the official DropBox video from dropbox.com of how the system works.

So imagine this scenario. You spent the night and part of the morning working on a presentation your boss asked and its going to be presented to the board of directors (yes, at some point everyone at IT will pass through this) and you finished the ppt at 3 AM. You did it, you click save and stored it in your super duper pen flash driver with neat  colors that your aunt gave you on christmas, YAY!

Nap time! You slept for 3 hours and after you get from your bed, you rush to the office. Its time for the presentation...BUT... you left the pen drive at home... OMG!

Now, imagine, you have a dropbox account. All you have to do is save the file under the dropbox folder and...that's IT! When you arrive at the office, you will log to your dropbox account and the file will be there.

I think everyone should have a dropbox account, because you will never know when you are going to need one.
