Dropbox

A damn useful cross-platform file syncing service that works the way iDisk was supposed to.

Obscure Bits of Lore

If you lose Finder icon overlays and context menus, quit Dropbox and do this:

sudo rm -rf /Library/DropboxHelperTools
killall Finder

…and restart Dropbox. It should ask for an administrator password to reinstall the Finder plugin, and all should be well.
