As far as your questions, I am a music producer who likes to work in both computers (not at the same time lol) and instead of transferring song files via USB stick (which is a PITA), I thought Dropbox would allow me to open up the song file I'd been working on in my upstairs computer, into my more powerful basement machine that has many more resources.

Thanks Rich, greatly appreciated! Obviously I'm still learning Dropbox. I confused the terms "share," "link," and "sync."
