I currently share files between Ubuntu and windows, and on occasions share documents with others. Dropbox easily caters for this, and best of all is free for up to 2GB.

Intalling dropbox on Ubuntuu 9.04

Following dropbox‘s instructions you are left at a dead end. There is no dropbox folder created even after nautilus has been restarted and I had logged out then back in. To complete the install of dropbox on Ubuntu, on the command line enter 

dropbox start -i

which will then download and install the daemon. Once that is done logout and back in and you should then be able to use your drop box.

The first time that I can honestly say ubuntu has shocked me. The problem is the nvidia 177 driver. To get around it, boot up into the previous kernal and install the Nvidia 180 packages. Once its done, reboot into the latest kernel version.
