We often make product decisions based on strategic alignment, partner requests or even legal advice — the end user doesn’t care. We simply have to admit that Apple is nailing this and it is one of the reasons they have people lining up overnight at stores around the world, and products sold out for months. These people aren’t hypnotized zombies, they simply love beautifully designed products that are user centric and work how they are supposed to work.

Dropbox: Best App of 2010

Dropbox is my 2010 best app hands down! I am so in love with this app.

What is Dropbox? You remember when we used to attach files and save them as drafts in our emails so we don’t lose them? Well, those days belong to the last decade. Dropbox is an online backup/sync service/software offering 2GB for free. Bigger space is available for a monthly fee.

Dropbox is like your hard disk in the clouds. I use it for backing all my important data; office documents, iOS apps, eBooks, pictures, bookmarks, 1password backup files, reports, etc.

Once, I had a bad malware on my office pc. It ate up my files but since it had it all backed up on Dropbox, I didn’t panic. A few clicks and I had my files back. What if you mistakenly delete a file from your device and want it back, it is simple. Dropbox by default keeps deleted files for 30 days. All you have to do is undelete.

It is also a good tool for sharing files. If you are working on a document with a group or you want to share a file with your twitter friends, just use Dropbox.

Dropbox is available for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Blackberry and Web. Your files are always in sync with Dropbox. Once you work on your mac and save a file, it syncs it to your iPad and other devices. Isn’t that cool enough?

Finally, let me tell you about Dropbox’s really cool referral package. Once you refer someone and the person joins and activates his/her Dropbox, you get 256MB additional space. The referred user also gets 256MB more space. So, if you don’t have a dropbox yet, use the referral link for 256MB more space: http://db.tt/lpd1aHl
