Dropbox is a cloud storage system where you can backup your files and folders on their servers and access them in real-time on Windows and Linux machines.
It integrates with the operating systems desktop manager and allows you to add/remove files just like a folder on your computer.
It’s free to try out and you’ll have 2GB of storage completely free; if you invite your friends using the referral scheme you get an extra 250MB per person (up to 3GB) so in theory you could have 5GB of online storage for nothing.
The good thing about Dropbox is that it supports Windows, Linux, Mac and even your iPhone and allows you to share files between these devices. It’s pretty good considering it costs you nothing.
Some of the features listed below;
- 2GB of online storage for free, with up to 100GB available to paying customers.
- Sync files of any size or type.
- Sync Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
- Automatically syncs when new files or changes are detected.
- Work on files in your Dropbox even if you’re offline. Your changes sync once your computer has an Internet connection again.
- Dropbox transfers will correctly resume where they left off if the connection drops.
- Efficient sync – only the pieces of a file that changed (not the whole file) are synced. This saves you time.
- Doesn’t hog your Internet connection. You can manually set bandwidth limits.
You can give it a try by heading to the Dropbox website and signing up
