What's Dropbox?

"One place for all your stuff, wherever you are."

Dropbox is a home for all your photos, docs, videos, and files. Anything you add to Dropbox will automatically show up on all your computers,phones and even the Dropbox website — so you can access your stuff from anywhere.

Dropbox also makes it super easy to share with others, whether you're a student or professional, parent or grandparent. Even if you accidentally spill a latte on your laptop, have no fear! Relax knowing that your stuff is safe in Dropbox and will never be lost.

Be anywhere

Dropbox works hard to make sure that all your stuff is the same wherever you happen to be. Start a doc from a computer at school or work, make edits from your phone on the way home, then add finishing touches from a tablet in your living room.

With apps available for all your computers,phones, and tablets, you can show off videos, automatically upload photos, or open documents from anywhere.

Simple sharing

Dropbox makes sharing easy. Invite your friends, family, and teammates to any folder in your Dropbox, and it'll be as if you saved that folder straight to their computer.

You can send people links to specific files, photos, and folders in your Dropbox, too. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects, sharing party photos with friends, or recording your band's debut album.

Always safe

Even if your computer has a meltdown or your phone goes for a swim, your stuff is always safe in Dropbox and can be restored in a snap. Dropbox is like a time machine that lets you undo mistakes and even undelete files you accidentally trash.

Surprise yourself

Over 500 million people around the world rely on Dropbox to help them design buildings, compose music, run businesses, and even coordinate disaster relief. Whether you're an entrepreneur or a teacher, a photographer or an astronomer, an artist or an activist, Dropbox simplifies your life.

REFLECTION

It was two years ago when I first downloaded the application through my yahoomail because it was necessary to be able to send my report that exceeded the allowed size of e-mail. That time I didn’t really know how to use it, I got confused with its purpose and thought it was only occupying a large size in my computer. Sometimes, I even get annoyed with its updates and whenever it pops out unexpectedly…

Lately, just recently, when it was re-introduced by our professor, and I appreciate its existence as a useful tool in storing important documents prone to being deleted because of various forms of internet virus, spam, or unanticipated removing of files (not only because of the course requirementJ).

Not only that it is beneficial and convenient to use, it also makes sharing of documents, pictures, etc. easier plus who can access them anywhere as long as you have the application.

When I was a kid, I have only one picture of a cloud, but today clouds could also be something more useful other than the formation of rain. Now we can slowly wave our goodbyes to our compact disks and flash drives because of this kind of technology advancement.
