Are you into being on the go and using email as a way to keep valuable data safe (“in the ether”), or used as a backup, until you get to your destination? Or are you already using DropBoxes as an alternative to this … spoilsport! Never mind … “DropBox is an alternative to email.” So there, nyaaaaaargh. Guess a lot of people are using iCloud or Google Drive or other services for this same computer storage purpose at a bigger level. Below is a definition of DropBox by Wikipedia.
Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc., that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, and client software. Dropbox allows users to create a special folder on each of their computers, which Dropbox then synchronizes so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same contents) regardless of which computer is used to view it. Files placed in this folder also are accessible through a website and mobile phone applications.
Dropbox, Inc., was founded in 2007 by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi, as a Y Combinator startup company.[4]
Dropbox provides client software for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, BlackBerry OS and web browsers, as well as unofficial ports to Symbian, Windows Phone, and MeeGo.
