Dropbox is a software that enables you to share
files and folders across the online platform, by synchronizing them with
your offline storage.
In order to start using Dropbox, you must
create an account. You can either set the tool to sync all the folders
in your Dropbox, or you can use "Selective Sync" to choose particular
ones.
Basically, Dropbox installs a folder on your computer in
which you can copy or move data to share online. This means that if you
want to access your Dropbox files from another location, simply log in
with your username and password.
You can view, download or upload
contents directly in the web browser if you don't have the Dropbox
application installed on the computer.
Of course, if you want,
for example, to download your files shared on Dropbox from another
computer, the job will be much easier and faster if Dropbox is installed
on that particular computer.
In the online browser you can
search for files and folders in your Dropbox, create a new folder, view
deleted files and events (similar to a log file), send invitations to
your friends, and more.
In the 'Preferences' menu, you can
disable desktop notifications and the LAN sync, unlink the computer to
the current account to add a different one, set the download and upload
rate, configure proxy settings, input the Dropbox location, change the
interface language, and more.
The program uses a moderate amount
of system resources and includes a very comprehensive documentation,
oriented towards helping users get around.
The bottom line is
that Dropbox provides one of the simplest solutions for sharing data
online and we strongly recommend it to all users.
