Dropbox - online storage/backup

Every morning I start my computer, I pray that it at least starts.
This is why I always looking for option for getting things off of the local computer.

Recently I came across Dropbox. I am really liking it. It gives you 2 GB of storage free of cost.
To Setup follow these commands

For Ubuntu :
1. Go to https://www.getdropbox.com/downloading and download appropriate package.
2. # dropbox start -i

For Redhat/Fedora (without Nautilus plugin):
1. If 32 bit,
wget http://www.getdropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86
If 64 bit,
wget http://www.getdropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64


tar zxof dropbox-*.tar.gz
mv .dropbox-dist ~/.dropbox-dist
wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/6995/dbmakefakelib.py
wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/6995/dbreadconfig.py
python dbmakefakelib.py

It will ask all the information,fill it and let it sync. Then close it using icon->stop or ^C.


python dbreadconfig.py
cat >> ~/.bash_profile << END
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd &
END


You will get a folder ~/Dropbox. Create anything in that folder and it will be backed up automatically. Also they have a folder called ~/Dropbox/Public where you can put a document and its available to non-dropbox users too.

Here are other options available

Ubuntu has its own online storage too. Its called Ubuntu_one.
