We all know about the invaluable Dropbox, but I recently found out that you could download and run your own instance of Dropbox on any computer.

I haven’t tried it out yet, but in essence I could install it on a web server and sync it with a local folder on my computer, eliminating the need for me to use FTP while making websites.

It doesn’t have as much “geek cred” as running a shell script, deploying to a GIT repository and getting to say things like “deploy it to the production server!” But we can’t all be the geeks we want to be, sometimes we’re just the geeks we are.
