[What is "Dropbox"?]
"Dropbox" is a free service that lets you bring all your documents, photos and videos anywhere and share them easily and is over 100 million people around the world. Simply by dropping files inside the Dropbox folder created upon install, files can be stored / synchronized automatically to other devices such as PC’s, smartphones and also to the Dropbox website.
[Key Features of "Dropbox"] ■Store and Sync Data to Various Devices Automatically No matter where you’re working from, with Dropbox, you can rest assured that your important data will always be synchronized. For example, you can save your file at the office and pick right back up at your home, without having to send the file via Email. In addition, if you have the Dropbox App installed in your smartphone, you can also view and check photos, presentations, and other files - even when you’re away from office.
■ Sharing made Easy If you want to share a file inside your Dropbox folder with a friend, all you need to do is to invite that friend to your folder, and he/she can use the file as if the file was stored directly on his computer. You can also send a link to any particular file so that you can have your friends access it. Dropbox is the ideal solution for sharing files with project members at work or sharing personal photos with friends and families.
■ Restoring Deleted Files Even if you accidentally delete or overwrite a file, the history of changes carried out to the files in your Dropbox folder are automatically saved in the server logs, so all you need to do is to log in to Dropbox through a web browser to restore that file. |
