Another way to use Dropbox

Good day Habr! I want to describe my way of using the Dropbox service. Site search gives a bunch of all sorts of ways to use this file hosting service - this is hosting small sites, and backup data, and just transferring small files. For me, Dropbox solved the problem of remote torrent downloads.



It all started with the thought of how it would be convenient to put a movie / TV show / music download from work and come home immediately to see / listen and not wait while it is downloading (there’s not much time left in the evening). Since I practically do not turn off the home computer, I decided to implement the idea through Dropbox. Installed the client on the working and home machines, shared the folder, set up the torrent client (uTorrent) to automatically download files from this folder and that's it! Now it’s enough to save the torrent file to this folder and it will start downloading, which saves time. I hope this helps someone as much as I do.
