Dropbox

Do you ever lose work because...
 ... you updated an old version of a document
 ... you can't find your USB / flash drive
 ... you're not sure if you saved it correctly

Dropbox might be the answer!  It is an online hosting service that uses cloud computing to store and share files and folders.  You can log into your account from any PC with an internet connection.  That means you need only have one version of your document, you need only save it to one place and you won't need a USB or flash drive.  (Although it is always a good idea to back up important files!)



Features of Dropbox
 
File Sync
1. Dropbox allows you to sync your files online and across your computers automatically (i.e. one version!).
2. 2GB of online storage for free, more if you join the space race .
3. Sync files of any size or type.
4. Sync Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.
5. Automatically syncs when new files or changes are detected.

File Sharing
1. Shared folders allow several people to collaborate on a set of files.
2. You can see other people’s changes instantly.
