Dropbox is now available on Athena. Dropbox is a utility for
synchronizing files across multiple computers and networked devices.
Please note that this application is a commercial product not supported
by IS&T and that we cannot guarantee the integrity or proper
synchronization of your data. You'll need to create an account at the
vendor site first if you don't already have one.

To use it:

add dropbox

dropbox start (to start the synchronization daemon)

and put files in your ~/Dropbox folder to synchronize files.

Please see
http://ist.mit.edu/services/software/athena/utilities#dropbox 
for additional important information.
