Ok, so a few days ago I blogged about Dropbox and all of it’s awesomeness, but today I have to tell you about how Jing and Dropbox work together to double that awesomeness to a point of disbelief….

Ok, so if you watch the above video I’m sure you’re going to get the jist of what I’m trying to portray. With Jing you can record whatever’s on your screen, so you can provide instructions to someone or show someone what’s happening on your screen without having to set up remote access etc. Then you can save your Jing screen cast file in your Dropbox folder which will then automatically upload the video to your online storage. If you save the screencast file in your Dropbox public folder you can then just navigate to your Dropbox folder, right click on the file, grab the public URL and send it to whoever you want to see it.

The above video is hosted live in my Dropbox, if it’s broken then it’s probably because I deleted it from my Dropbox folder :/

Incidentally, on yesterday I became one of Dropbox’s first paying customers, as they’re trialling their payment system and I was invited to be amongst the first to test it out. To be honest 50GB is quite a large amount of space, especially for file sync’ing. It’s still nice peace of mind for off-site backup though!
