How I Use It

Dropbox became my "be-all, end-all" for my file storage needs. I used the service to store all of my files for my teaching. I used third party apps to extend the usefulness of Dropbox as well. DropItTo.me allowed my students to digitally submit work to me that would go directly into my dropbox without having to give them direct access to it. I loved the simplicity of the interface and found the ability to sync my files on multiple devices and from the website to be a tremendous asset.

My Take

The interface on the website is simple to navigate. The plugin for your computer easily syncs files from machine, to machine, to the cloud. Everything I could ever need to access in my files for teaching, I could access from anywhere with an internet connection. Dropbox provides a means to extend the allotted storage space that users receive beyond the basic 2GB through referrals. This allowed me to increase my storage allotment to almost 12GB very easily. Also, with the addition of some third-party apps (Notability, DropItTo.me, QuickOffice HD, etc.), the functionality of Dropbox can be improved further.

Dropbox - great file storage in the cloud.
