Obnoxious & Inappropriate - Dale Sorenson's Blog

These are my inner-most thoughts, mostly about comedy and technology, but also occasionally other non-sequitur, tangential rants. Well OK, maybe these aren't my INNER-most thoughts. Those are mostly about dancers and Swedes, and would probably get me locked up if they ever became public ... but some hopefully interesting thoughts, anyways.

I Just Deleted All Your Files!

Stop and think about it for a minute. How would you feel if you lost all your files ... your photos ... your thesis ... that script you've slaved over for years ... your novel.

If you I'm gonna let you pass on this Dropbox thing you've got another thing coming. I really mean it. I am shoving this down the throat and up the ass of everyone I know.

You, yes YOU need a Dropbox. For 15 years I have been designing backup systems and they've always been cumbersome and high maintenance, until this service. Dropbox finally got it right.

You have no excuse. It's free. It's effortless. EFFORTLESS, do you hear me? It's encrypted. It's secure. You set it up, you put your stuff in it, and you never, ever have to think about backups again.

Not only does it backup your stuff automatically and for free, but there are all sorts of neat tricks you can do with your Dropbox.


One of the niftiest tricks is Dropbox for iPhone. You can access all your files from your phone. Not only can you view them, you can email them. So if someone asks for a file, tap it on your iPhone and send it to them. It's just that easy.

Even if you don't have an iPhone, you can still get to your Dropbox files anytime (at work, for example) by logging into the Dropbox web site.

Dropbox saved my ass three times the very first week I installed it. Get your Dropbox now.
