FYI: PushBullet HN thread [1]. It seems be working very much like Dropbox with additional notifications and target devices [2]. I like the idea, but I wasn't able to find out how long files are stored on their servers, I only found this [2]:

> This push is saved in a database on our servers in order to enable you to access all of your pushes from more than just the device

Also, since the whole service is free, how are they going to make any profit? In this blog post [3]

> PushBullet is free to use and we’re going to keep it that way. It is true though that since we’ve left our jobs, we are going to need to support ourselves. Fortunately, we’ve got a plan that’ll make both of these things possible. In the meantime we’re going to just live like poor college students again to make our savings last while we get everything up and running.

They don't mention what their "plan" is.

Bluetooth if your PC has it. Evernote could work too.
