For Tip #1, I added the date and figured out how to make this reverse chronological so that the most recent text items are at the top:

F0EHammer is right. You need two > to append.

I modified the script further to include the date:
echo ---"$(date)"--- >> ~/Dropbox/Mac-Clipboard.txt
cat >> ~/Dropbox/Mac-Clipboard.txt

Thanks for any Dropbox signup referrals:

Thanks but not very useful. Only works in stickies and preview, not in everyday apps like Word or Chrome. Any ideas on how to make it works wherever there is text?

Great tips! Thanks you very much! But the tip regarding the shell script doesn't work that well. Im my case it replaces the current text in the .txt file, så every time I add something new, the old text gets deleted.

I used

cat > ~/Dropbox/RandomFindings.txt

You can also use dropbox with the QuickOffice on the iPad or iPhone. I love this service.

If you don't have a dropbox account yet, please use my referral link. We will both get 250MB more space for free:

Wow! Awesome tips. I'll definitely be using these!

I use Dropbox for… well.. everything. But my most recent amazing use of it is to sync Safari 5 extensions across all my macs (I have 3). It’s actually very easy to do as well.

Taken from (http://bit.ly/9Enb5P)…

1. Move your Extensions folder (from /Library/Safari) to your Dropbox folder (/Dropbox by default)
2. Open up the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities)
3. Type the line below
ln -s ~/Dropbox/Extensions/ ~/Library/Safari/Extensions

The third step creates a symbolic link so that when Safari looks for the Extensions folder, it is redirected to the shared folder on Dropbox, which will sync automatically.

On other computers, first move any extensions not on the first machine from the Extensions folder in Library/Safari/Extensions to the Extensions folder in Dropbox, then delete the folder in Library/Safari/Extensions (if you copy the whole folder as in step 1, you will overwrite the first lot of extensions. Then, type the line from step 3 this second Mac.
