Dropbox is a free cloud storage service that allows users to store and share files across all their devices. Users can access files from any device via desktop, web or mobile clients which are connected to secure servers. When files are added, changed or deleted on one device, they are automatically synced and updated on all other linked devices. To use Dropbox, a user creates an account and allows the service to create synchronized folders on all their connected devices. Files can then be shared with others by providing a link to the Dropbox folder.

2. What is Dropbox?
• Dropbox is a free cloud storage service for
sharing and storing files including photos,
documents and videos. To use Dropbox you need
to create an account on dropbox.com and allow
the service to create folders on all your
connected devices -- such as PCs, laptops or
other mobile devices -- and synchronize any files
you store on Dropbox with the connected
devices. Files can be shared with others by
providing them with a link to your Dropbox
folder.

3. How it works?
• Dropbox users can access files and folders any
time from the desktop, web, and mobile clients,
or through applications connected to Dropbox.
All of these clients connect to secure servers to
provide access to files, allow file sharing with
others, and update linked devices when files are
added, changed, or deleted. The Dropbox service
operates various services that are responsible for
handling and processing both metadata and raw
block storage.

4. Dropbox works the way you do
Take your docs anywhere
Save files on your computer, then
access them on your phone from the
road. Everything you keep in Dropbox
is synced automatically to all your
devices.

5. Send videos quickly
• Send your entire wedding video to family with
a simple link. It’s easy to share large files with
anyone — even if they don’t have a Dropbox
account.

6. Easily manage your photos
• Automatically upload photos to organize,
share, and work on them with others.
Whether they’re new images for your blog or
scanned receipts, they’re all safe and
organized in Dropbox.

7. Work on slides together
• Edit a presentation with teammates without
emailing files back and forth. When you edit a
file in a shared folder, everyone gets the
update automatically.

8. Never lose a file again
• Left your phone on the train? Your photos,
docs, and videos are safe. Just sign in to
Dropbox from any device, and your files will
be there waiting for you.
