My OS crashed!!!! :(
Many of us will have that problem. What is the solution??
Do you have online backup??
If not then you might have external hdd which comes to rescue.
If you have some files which changes constantly then why to keep backup in hdd?
One of the solution you will find is Dropbox.
I have been using it for more then 6 months now. It is very useful.
The main purpose of Dropbox is for sync between all your devices.
It is based on cloud computing. The data is stored on cloud.
You can install in any OS.
Dropbox creates a folder on your local machine. Plus all the data is already present on the Dropbox website.
So its easy to manage any file under a folder. You can even share the folder with anyone.
The advantage of sharing is that if you are working on a project then you need not use usb/mail to transfer the data.
Just copy that file in Dropbox and it will sync with other people with whom you have shared the folder.
If other users make some changes in the file, then it will be seen in your file also.
If you are the owner of the folder then you can check all the activites that have been done by others.
This can be seen on Dropbox website.
Initially you get 2GB of free storage. You can even use paid storage.
Most of us will use free storage. So if you want to increase the storage then there are ways.
First is to complete the steps given in getting started option. You will get 250 MB from there.
Secondly for every person completes the dropbox installation you get 250 MB free upto 8 GB!!!
If you want to change the default path of your Dropbox folder then also you can do it. Click here.
The steps are also given for other OS.
Download Dropbox.
