Dropbox review: the do-everything storage service

Your Ad Here

Dropbox is considered as the cross platform for serving file sharing, synchronizing and the backup. This application is available to every one as a free one up to a limit of 2GB. You need to pay $10 or ?5 per month for extra 50GB of Storage. It will cost $99 or ?56 per year.

It will be appearing as a folder in your MAC PC and called as Dropbox, from that you can place your file in somewhere in the system. You may not that a shortcut appeared in the Finder’s Sidebar. It is simple that any thing you placed in that folder is synchronized to the server’s of Online Dropbox ( similar to Amazon’s S3 storage service) and it is made accessible to any computer that links to your Dropbox account.

It also avails that if one of your computers is turned off, or in asleep mode or in offline, automatically they will get connected and synchronized when it is connected and the Dropbox is activated.

You are having the option of viewing your files though some web interface. Optimized web browsers in iPhone or iPod will be helpful in viewing the files if you have.

Dropbox makes you feel pleasure to use, since it gives the accurate details to you. In the Mac PC’s menubar option allows you to access the Dropbox files more frequently. You can share your photos in the Dropbox with your friends who have mail address (need to be a Dropbox User) only. It can routinely converts the photos in to the gallery for easy viewing. It can be very useful in recovering the deleted file in your Dropbox.

If you need to edit some of your files that is shared in the Dropbox, you may not need to transfer the whole file and again to your connected computers. Rather you can transfer the edited part alone and these updates are echoed in connected computers. You can reduce your bandwidth size if you want to be.

The only disadvantage of Dropbox is, it only watches the specified folder and not all the Connected Dropbox Folders. The synchronization must be maintained between the two computers if you want to get linked with them. Apart from this, if you are looking for cross-platform file synchronization service, then it is obvious you have to prefer Dropbox for their best output and it values your each penny.

@simplewhite: Yes you can open folders to public or private share between dropbox users. It is great for collaboration.

I really love the service. I use it to sync data between my personal home PC and my work PC and it works great.

I use it with SVN server.. works like a charm!!



I don't have a real SVN server 24/7 so I have a SVN server in my laptop, other in my desktop, etc... all the repositories are under DropBox so if I work on my laptop, I commit to my laptop, if I am in my desktop, I commit to my desktop SVN server... and all the repositories are sync!



you only have to create a DNS alias so all your SVN paths are the same no matter where you are

Huge fan of the dropbox service. I was initially a little wary of living in the cloud - but im really starting to love it.

I've been testing a lot of online storage services and this service in the cloud seems to be the most reliable and very fast.

Dropbox makes sharing files so much faster and easier for larger companies. We (Golden Rule Dental Insurance) couldn't function without it! What's great is that you can access it from any computer, not just your work computer. It also keeps the email server from being bogged down with large files.

dropbox is a place to storage all files online? does that sound like docstoc? I have not come a cross using that kind of software yet coz I still new online surface. but my concern is it safe to put files in there? I mean what if someone hacked the website, so it mean all files will be use by unresponsible person, right? so, this is my main concern about security issue here.

I have been using Dropbox for about a month and really enjoy it, however I did fill up my 2GB’s of space so stopped using it.
Thanks for this review, I think I may change the way I use it and maybe start considering it more like an online pen drive or pen drive backup solution.
