So, after having installed and used Dropbox, I can honestly say it is a great tool to use for syncing files between computers, and even your iPhone (android too?)

I’d had a Dropbox account for a while, but never had the program installed on my computer to fully take advantage of the service. Add a new folder or file within your Dropbox folder, and it will upload to the server, then sync and download back to your other computer(s). You can select which folders get synced, so your not wasting bandwidth.

Another really great thing is that you can share your folders with other users, so you can sync project files, without the need to email them back and forth; there’s even a light form of versioning that can take place if you and your partner are working on the same file at the same time.

Of course, the free account only gives you 2gb of storage – ample for office documents. But start throwing in some photo or video media, and the usage will eat up quickly. That’s why they have a referral program! The more users that sign up thanks to you, the more space you’ll get (250 mb per user). How nice!

So, if haven’t already, and feel a need, I’d encourage you to check it out!

If you want to be kind, you can sign up after clicking my link below, and giver a little extra storage too!

Thanks!

I decided to model a pair of scissors and place them for sale on the3DStudio.com – made in Blender, exported as .3ds, .dae, .obj, .fbx – should work for everyone. Simple model, simple materials, but I think they look pretty good.

Loklo has not found that Social Media presence has been beneficial at least in the tactics employed. As a result of the time investment with no returns, it has been decided to cut most ties. YouTube and Linked In remain.

I’ve decided to change the comment system of the blog to DISQUS – which should allow for more users to comment. I’ve not had good feedback with the Facebook system, and the internal comment system is too easy for spammers to fill up, even with Captcha. Hopefully this helps a bit.

Cheers. Please comment on any blog post you find interesting
