You may have heard of Dropbox before, but I am fairly late to the idea of cloud storage and understanding just how great something like this is. The idea behind Dropbox is that whatever you place in your box you are able to access from a host of other devices. If you change a document on one device it will sync up to the others so the changes will go with you.
Something like this is definitely going to be handy whilst I'm at university as it will allow me to have aback up system online so that if any of my work gets deleted or lost (this has happened to me before) then I have another copy avalible. "Dropbox secures your files with AES-256 bit encryption and two-step verification". Now although I don't understand exactly what that means I know that any protection is better than none and for an app like Dropbox where you things are mostly stored in the cloud, this is brilliant as it means you can feel safe knowing that your documents are secure.
You can access your files online, on your computer as well as your handheld devices. The things you put in your box are actually synced to all your devices meaning you can access important documents on the go and if you have a word document you need to edit you can use a secondary app such as Evernote to do so.
With it being easy to use and a good amount of storage avaliable to the free user I think that Dropbox is an app definitely worth trying ever if you just want to take a closer look at it.
Dropbox is free to download with a free 2GB worth of storage (you can get more if you refer your friends) and with a pro plan you can get 100GB, 200GB or 500GB of storage starting at $9.99 a month. The Dropbox app is available for download on i0S, Android and Windows devices as well as the web browser and desktop download.
