Dropbox and Printing From Your Smart Phone

I'm always on the look out for a better opportunity (Read: Job) and I like to keep a lot of my documents synchronized between my phone and my computers and have found Dropbox an invaluable tool for getting this done, but Dropbox can also do more than just keep your files Synchronized.
Using Dropbox, you can also send documents, attachments, spreadsheets, and naked pictures of your co-workers to be printed at home for perusal at a later time.  All you need is is this VBS Script, a Dropbox account, a computer and a printer and you are good to go.  Just download and run the VBS Script on the computer with Dropbox installed and it will create a Print Queue folder that you can drop files in which will then send them to your printer (or queue them up to be printed when you get home and turn on your computer).

There are other programs out there like PrinterShare that you can use for a nominal fee, but why bother adding another one-trick-pony background process when you can use Dropbox to do both?

The only downside I have found to Dropbox is that large files seem to time out a lot when downloading to your phone, but hopefully a resume feature will be added at some point to resolve this issue.

If you don't already have a Dropbox account you can sign up for one right here and also boost my storage space by 250 megabytes in the process.  Don't worry, Dropbox is free.

So I bought this Android phone, what can I do with it?

Most people use their phones for making calls, texting, recording video, and taking pictures, and they use a notebook for everything else.  Well, I work in a building where notebooks aren't allowed, but I've managed to get around the Nazi regime that I work for by using my Android phone to do most of what I need to get done during the day.

I purchased a Motorola Droid X (upgraded from a Crapberry) for the purpose of having a slightly larger screen so I could control my Notebook (HDX18t, affectionately known as Monster) while I am at work or otherwise on the go.

I utilize three basic apps on my phone to do this.  I have an App that allows me to Remote in to my PC, I have an app to sync files between my phone and my PC, and I have a remote torrent app for adding torrents while I am away from my PC.

• PhoneMyPc --- $9.99 while in Beta
• Dropbox --- File Syncing between my computer and phone (Free) 
• Torrent-Fu --- Used to add torrents (need a client such as uTorrent for this to work) (Free)

These three apps allow me to do pretty much everything I need to while I am away from Monster during the days. Eventually PhoneMyPc will have file transfer capability, but in the mean time Dropbox works great and does the job nicely, so if you are looking to do more during the course of your day but can't carry a notebook with you, try these three apps, I think you will find them well worth your time and productivity. 

Note: The Dropbox link is a referral and boosts my storage space by 250 megabytes per click through.
