Dropbox
Online file locker
Dropbox is a cloud storage service that lets users save files online and access them from any device.
Files kept in your Dropbox folder sync automatically across computers and phones: I'll put the documents in Dropbox so you can grab them.
The service popularized the model of seamless file syncing that competitors later adopted.
