So here’s an alternate DIY method that kind of offers best of both worlds. You can transfer files to your Dropbox folders by sending them to an email address, there are no limits and you aren’t dependent on another service.

Unlike a VNC software, you can’t drag and drop windows from one computer to another. However, Input Director supports clipboard sharing so you can copy-paste URLs and other text across computers.
