- Via Dropbox twitter … “Your stuff, anywhere.”History of dropbox? MIT, keeping track of information – one location on all devices!!Dropbox allows users to create a special folder on each of their computers, which Dropbox then synchronizes so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same contents) regardless of which computer is used to view it. Files placed in this folder also are accessible through a website and mobile phone applications.Mention Cloud based storageSynching and sharingabilitySynching today one main folder, many subfolders (possible enhancement)Flash drive – today, one folder (possible enhancement) – could make the flash drive obsolete!!Lost/unorganized??/computer crash
