Comments from some of those who selected Dropbox as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2009

The easiest way to publish files and share online without any fuzz…I use it for everything – especially when I want to refer to files/documents that are under development. The link is absolute – if I change a file on my harddisk (in the dropbox folder) – it syncronizes the duplicate on the net automatically – and the link I sent previously – is still the same… Måns Mårtensson
Being able to upload stuff to the ether, where the client is able to access it is very useful when you have a Yahoo mail account which limits attachment sizes. Karyn Romeis
