Dropbox is an excellent cloud storage service. It’s simple to use, looks good, works well and
can be extremely effective and quick. Google’s cloud-based services may encompass the
entire user package but Dropbox is a far more lightweight option for any user type.
Getting up and running with Dropbox’s Basic Plan doesn’t require much computing legwork. All you need to do is
sign-in to www.dropbox.com.

How to Use Dropbox Storage
You can sign up with Dropbox either as a
separate account or through your existing
Google account. It doesn’t matter which you
opt for, as any alerts, notifications and so on are automatically
emailed to the account you use.
STEP Getting content into your Dropbox account
can be done either by dragging and dropping
the files and folders from your OS File
Manager or by clicking on the blue coloured links to the right
of the interface.
STEP Once you’ve uploaded files, images or
documents for example, you can click them to
view the contents. You will also be able to share
any of the folders and individual files with others, by clicking on
the content in question followed by the Share button. STEP Sharing content works in the same way as the
other cloud storage solutions available. You
enter a user’s email address; if you’ve logged
into Dropbox via Google then it uses your Google Contacts.
From there you’ll be able to generate a link, have an automatic
email sent and change the user permissions. STEP Dropbox Cloud Services
