Dropbox : "App"-solutely Fabulous!

Apps are changing the nature of how we interact with technology. In this blog series, we will highlight some great apps that are guaranteed to make your life a little easier. Consider downloading these apps onto your personal smart phone or tablet device, or come to see them in action in the MS/US library.

About Dropbox

Here in the library, we love Dropbox! And more and more, everyone with an iPad loves Dropbox too.

Dropbox is an ideal cloud-based solution for transfering files from one computer to another. Forget your USB drive, just create a Dropbox account and upload your files online.  Even better than other cloud-based file-syncing sites, install Dropbox on your computer in order to easily drag and drop to a folder in order to sync your files.

Every time you change a file in dropbox, your file syncs online.  So any computer that you have installed Dropbox will automatically refresh the file.

The Dropbox App

With the free Dropbox app, you can easily access all your files, and even more, you can use Dropbox to open your files in one of a variety of word-processing apps on the iPad.  This means that you can create a file on your computer, save it to Dropbox, and then continue working on it in Dropbox.

Dropbox is an app-solutely essential app!
