Dropbox – Very Cool File Synchronizing / Sharing Application

UPDATE:  Dropbox is now out of beta, anyone can sign up! 

I got a private beta invite to Dropbox, a very cool file sync application that works on PC, Mac, Linux, web…  Essentially, you can drop files into your DropBox folder on one computer and they’ll magically show up on your other systems (or even the web).  You can share them out so people can view them on-line (i.e. you want to show friends a few photos).  It’s incredibly easy to use!

For example, here’s a link to one of my Dropbox image galleries.  I simply put images into a folder, right-clicked on the folder to get the public link, and pasted it here.  Silly easy.

I’ve got a few invites I can pass out to folks, so if you’re interested…shoot me your email address and I’ll make sure you get an invite to use it!

What I’d really like to see is an enterprise version of the software.  My ideal vision of this would be a system where you could house your own Dropbox-like server and eliminate the need to have a 3rd party store your data.  Configuration options would allow for the ability to view files via the web (or not), and possibly the option to NOT store files on the server (instead, act more as a peer-to-peer system).  The on-the-fly synchronization of Dropbox at a low price-point would be quite beneficial to many Small Business and Enterprise users.
