Why Dropbox is attractive to users?

When we say Dropbox, majority of users will associate this name with “a relief to overstressed computer”. The Internet offers a number of storing options yet many believe that Dropbox beats the competitors by offering a number of valuable features that cannot be either underestimated or neglected. If we look back in 2007, the first time Dropbox appeared on a computing scene.

Is Dropbox a Groundbreaking Storage Performer?

By now you should recognize this motto “One place for all your stuff, wherever you are.” And the Company, Dropbox Inc. does everything to support its advertising slogan by offering more valuable user options year after year. We always think of the Dropbox of ever-changing online file storage that takes care of a whole variety of files that a user has share between multiple computers, laptops and iDevices or simply saying the “magic pocket”.

The Dropbox Mechanics Review

It’s a virtual folder that seats in the cloud, the Internet, and is located somewhere on a server, you wouldn’t need to know.

  • When you place your files into the cloud, it makes it available on your computer (Mac or PC). If somebody else is subscribed to the same folder, Dropbox copies it from the cloud and places on their computer in the Dropbox folder.
  • Main reasons why people would use Dropbox because they have multiple computers at home and offices. At this point, users wish to make sure they have the same files on their computers. For example, you are working on a file at work and you wish to work on the same file at home.

So, there is no need to drag around any USB stick. Just drop it in your Dropbox and the file will automatically sync to your machine at home and vice versa. The same is applicable to photos. If for example you wish to share photos with your friends, girlfriend, or mother, you simply sync photos to storage.

  1. If you want the transferred photos to delete from your iPhone once they are on your computer, check the box next to Delete items after import. This is smart practice if you’re low on iPhone storage.

  2. One problem, there is no explanation as to what “Sync photos to storage” is! Is it an app? Cause I don’t see it in the app store. This article just assumes you know that that is. Can’t get past step 1
