Dropbox - Online File Storage


Dropbox is an online file storage tool that let's you access your files from any computer that is connected to the Internet.  I have explained Dropbox as an "Online Flash Drive" except this flash drive will never get left at home when you really needed that presentation for school!  Dropbox offers many plans for you to use including their free plan which offers you 2 Gigabytes of storage.  Dropbox is a webtool, but you can also create a folder on your computer that can sync automatically with Dropbox.  This mean you can still have access to your files when you are not connected to the Internet, and once a connection is made, changes to files are always synced to Dropbox.  They also offer apps for mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad in order for you to view and share files and photos from your devices.  You can learn a bit more about Dropbox here!
