If you don’t know Dropbox, try it. Basically you can sync your files between computers and OS’s.

You define in each computer you install Dropbox a “Dropbox folder” (it doesn’t need to be the same in every computer) and every file and folder inside the folder will be synced.

Example - Computer A - Linux

1/home/youruser/Dropbox/folderA/
2/home/youruser/Dropbox/fileA.txt

Example - Computer B - Windows

1C:\My Dropbox\folderA\
2C:\My Dropbox\fileA.txt

In this examples, the folder folderA and every file and folder inside, and the file fileA.txt, are synced between both computers.

After talking with a friend about how he was using Dropbox to add new torrent files in is home computer, from work, I got excited with the potential of the idea.

Dropbox, is a multiplatform tool that allows you to sync and share files online across computers. If you save a file in your home computer, when you turn on your computer at work, for example, that file will be automatically synced if you have Dropbox installed. It also have a web interface, so you don’t even need to install it.
