The vast majority are accustomed to storing data through cloud services. The advantage of a cloud service like Dropbox is that you can easily store, share and synchronize all kinds of files.
Dropbox is the most popular cloud service on the market and that's good reason. In addition to the program being completely functional, you also get a large number of exciting extras that generally make the world easier for everyone. Whether it is for privacy or business.
How does a cloud service work?
Files do not fill anything if they are in the cloud, as the cloud is just a form of external hard drive space on a server located anywhere in the world. That is, if you upload one's files to Dropbox, you can advantageously delete them from one's internal hard drive so that they do not take up unnecessary hard disk space.
What you use a cloud service like Dropbox for, of course, is entirely up to one. Dropbox provides free up to 2.25GB storage space, and you can buy more if you need it. For example, if you have sensitive documents or images, it may be beneficial to upload them to Dropbox so that they are backed up, and you should not fear losing them. This results in a basic but solid security feature with Dropbox. If you have uploaded files to Dropbox, then you do not have to download them before you can see them. Videos, images, documents, etc. can be opened directly through Dropbox. You can of course always choose to download files if you need it.
Dropbox's unique aspect
Many private as well as companies make use of cloud services for everyday life, and there are many different to choose from. The many different cloud services have their own advantages, but Dropbox has nevertheless been expected to be the most popular of them.
One of the reasons for this is that Dropbox is an incredibly fast service. Dropbox servers are becoming accustomed to handling millions of files every minute, and they are therefore perfectly tailored for the purpose. However, how fast you upload files to Dropbox is always dependent on one's Internet connection, and more specifically, one's upload speed.
Besides being fast, Dropbox is also outrageously user-friendly. Dropbox has a relatively simple design, which means that you quickly find out how the functions work. Although you do not have the great technological experience, it takes a few minutes before you can find out how to navigate in Dropbox.
It's easy to create and share folders with one's colleagues. If you use Dropbox through your Google Chrome browser, Dropbox will automatically suggest similar contacts, so if you often share files with the same people, then you don't have to write down their email every single time.
Recourse
When you need to use Dropbox, you have two options. You can either download an installation file from Dropbox, which you can install on your computer, or you can use Dropbox through your browser.
If you install Dropbox, Dropbox looks pretty much like any other folder on your computer, but is still cloud-based.
This in turn results in the vast majority quickly finding out about using the program. If you use Dropbox through your browser, then it looks like the pictures at the bottom of the page illustrate. Basically, Dropbox is easy to find around. It is also possible to download Dropbox for your smartphone if you wish.
Synchronization and cooperation
One of the most impressive things about Dropbox is undoubtedly the synchronization. For example, if you uploads an image to Dropbox on your PC, so you can open the same image on your smartphone - look forward to using the same account. If you upload a document to Dropbox from your desktop computer, you can open the same document directly from one's laptop and continue the optional word processing. When you write what you want, you just have to save the documentagain, and Dropbox itself will make sure to synchronize it with one's stationary.
The synchronization options are especially great to have available in one's workplace. It is possible to share large amounts of documents, pictures and videos with one's colleague without having to download them. Generally speaking, this results in the fact that one can easily work across units. It is also quite convenient that you can sit on your smartphone and see what changes your colleague, for example. has added to a text document. Regardless of which device you install Dropbox, it is quite free and you can of course use the same account.
Conclusion
Cloud services and storage services are becoming increasingly popular, but especially one of the providers has managed to be the best. It's Dropbox. Dropbox simplicity merged with the amazing user-friendliness means you get a great service that is definitely worth the time.
Whether you need to use Dropbox privately or for business, Dropbox is worth having. As the icing on the cake, Dropbox is, as I said, developed for all conceivable units, and is also translated into Danish, so even if you do not have the sharpest English knowledge you can join.
