Work don't allow memory sticks in the computers anymore, but a pal told me Dropbox is good, especially for using Word documents that can be easily edited wherever you are.
Anybody used it and is it worth downloading or is there anything different/better?

I use it a bit for similar reasons.  Works fine.
Also good for giving others access to docs you want to share.

The rule will be in place to protect your company. It will also protect yourself. If you don't agree with your companies data protection policies you should leave.
It is because of people like you flaunting the rules that important personal data is found, left in taxis or trains.
You might benefit from being issued with a computer that has no download facility. Somebody could then ensure that don't overstep your security or trust level, which I would rank as extremely low. Stick to the rules...it is not a game.

Thank you naydam...

I really wasn't meaning it as a big fat negative like it obviously came across.

I work in and around education and someone, by accident, passed a virus into a school system via a memory stick, so I'm not surprised they took this action. I just wondered about other options and Dropbox seems like it will do me fine.

Thank you for replying though.

''flaunting the rules'' eh?

It's a flipping good job you didn't flout the rules instead, or naydam would have been really cross with you.

If you're wanting to transfer files, that are too big to email for example, We Transfer will send up to 2gb, free, no registration or log in, just add their and your email address and the attachment and send. The recipient will get a download link, very easy even I could do it :-)

dropbox is very good and has nothing to do with flouting the rules as your company will have a virus filter on anything downloaded as opposed to a virus on a memory stick.

Only minor point is that a lot of these free applications are inteneded for personal use and could in the future get a bit iffy if a company was using it a lot as there is a PRO Dropbox which rewquires paying for. but i and a lot of my customers use it and its great.

Hope that was more constructive than Naydams petty lecture !

Not sure that naydam will be okay with what you are doing minardi.
Maybe you should have run that by him first.
