Why I love DropBox

For the last few semesters I have been using a service called Dropbox. I love it! There have been so many times when I needed to access important files for school that are stored on my laptop. I know, it's a laptop I should have it with me at all times. But sometimes I don't. Dropbox has made it dead easy for me to go online and get my files from anywhere with an internet connection. It has also made it possible for me to work on a project from two (or more) computers. I have a laptop and a desktop and it's just convenient to on the desktop when I can, and then move to the laptop and have everything sitting there. This product has seriously changed the way I do school. The best part is that its FREE. I never worry about my laptop crashing, because I keep all my really important stuff in my dropbox. That way I can get to it from anywhere I want, and I can get it back if my computer ever dies. If you don't use this product currently, you should totally check it out!

If you use this link you will get an extra 256 megs for free.

  1. Trying to get some referals for more space? lol It is indeed a great service. My favorite use for it is setting my default OneNote storage folder to be inside of Dropbox and having all my class notes and thoughts available on both of my computers.

  2. You say that like it's a bad thing. Of course I want more space! Dropbox is an awesome product, and I've just about used up my free quota. If you don't have an account you are going to want to get one. It's amazing. Plus, if you use my link they give you extra space. It's a win win.

  3. We also love it for sharing pictures with groups (like from family reunions, for example).
