The folks at TUAW are big Dropbox fans but I thought I’d point out 5 articles that I’ve written about using Dropbox with various Mac apps to show what it can do.
Sync your 1Password passwords.
Sync your TextExpander shortcuts
Sync notes via Notational Velocity (if you don’t use Simplenote)
Use it with Dropzone which will also give you the public URL to files that you move into your Public folder.
Here’s one more: I told OS X to change where it stores screen grabs (aka “Screen Captures”) to my Dropbox:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Dropbox/Public/Screenshots/
(make sure that the folder ~/Dropbox/Public/Screenshots/ exists :-)
which not only makes them all available on any computer that I use, but it also makes it easy to share a screenshot with someone: instead of sending them the picture, I just copy the public URL.
