The rest of the updates are nice too, such as the improved speed and updated user interface, but I can really use the selective sync feature. If you aren't using Dropbox, you really should check it out. Besides the fact that it is free up to 2GB, if you use <a href="http://db.tt/j7LONla" target="_blank">this link</a> when signing up, we both get an extra 250 MB of storage! What a deal!</span></p>

I also like the addition of selective syncing. I have a work laptop (windows 7 enterprise) that has an encrypted hard disk, and using dropbox causes big problems, as it isn't (or wasn't) able to handle hidden encrypted files correctly (at least with Credant), so it constantly was re-trying the sync, causing lots of network traffic. Hopefully now I can de-select the hidden encrypted files.
