I'm using dropbox to share files for a Stars! team game right now, no more hassle in mailing .x and .h files back and forth! We now always we have the most up to date .x file in the shared dropbox folder (and get a warning when it's updated). Have been looking for such a thing for years! It's just a plain folder on your harddisk and you can launch Stars! straigth away. (It also keep backups of changes ...) After the install and sharing of the folder you don't have to do anything anymore, excpet play! Great! Smile

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in a long time!

...and would work equally well for non-team non-AH games, just password your game files.

Yup, you could use it to host non-AH games as well, it would be similar like AH before the up/download PW was in place. Some might find that not enough security though.

There are other games than Stars!? Shocked
(truth be told, playing Borderlands a lot lately)
