Dropbox now in public beta

Dropbox, my favorite FTP-free file sharing and transfer system, is now in public beta -- anyone can sign up to use the service, and you don't need an invite code.

Spokesperson Drew Houston said in a blog post that they launched the public beta at the TechCrunch50 conference in San Francisco.

I wrote about Dropbox in May, and it's still a regular part of my file transfer strategy with my clients. It's easy and fast, which makes it perfect for clients who don't want to spend a lot of time sending me files (or downloading them, for that matter).

If you need more than the free 2GB of storage, 50GB will be available next week for $10 monthly (or $100 annually).

Thanks, Josh!
