I think you can achieve the same functionality using rsync and cron, however what they offer is a daemon that looks for changes in a specific directory and synchronizes the directory to the remote server. I think they also offer the possibility of sharing a subdirectory (under that dropbox directory) with anyone else that has a dropbox account.
I have used dropbox in the past, I am now using a similar service from Canonical named Ubuntu one that comes default with Ubuntu desktop. -- Ori Idan On Sun, Dec 19, 2010 at 12:36 PM, Dotan Cohen <dotanco...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2010/12/19 Ori Idan <o...@helicontech.co.il>: > > DropBox has client and a daemon.
