Sharing folders between Dropbox accounts
I use Dropbox to keep my personal as well as some work items synced to all of my PCs so that I can easily pick work up where I left off while I'm on the go.
This has worked great so far, but I found myself in a situation at work where I really wanted Dropbox on another machine so I could have access to those same work files. However, I didn't want all my personal stuff that's beside it in my Dropbox to show up as well. Besides, I've got about a gig and a half I don't really want to sync.
So I found out that you can share folders between Dropbox accounts. Apparently this is just what I want. I already had the folder I wanted to share in my Dropbox, with all of the work stuff I needed.
So I opened a Dropbox account with my work email and installed it on the other machine. Then, from my Dropbox login to my personal account on their website, I was able to share the folder to my work email. From the work email's account, all I had to do was accept the invitation to share, and now that folder with just the work stuff shows up on that new machine. But it syncs to the same folder in my personal account, which shows up on my desktop and home machines. Sweet.
