Dropbox works well for a backup syncing applicatio
After several months of using Dropbox I have enjoyed their free service. It’s very fast, easy and accessible. I use it primarily for documents that I may need at any given time at any point of time or place.
It’s good because I have images and documents that are important that do not take up very much space that I can not live without. On the other hand, the free storage limitation keeps me from storing any real large files. I work with video formats so sometimes it would be nice to do store larger files.
Another good aspect of Dropbox is it’s syncing ability. It works pretty seamlessly on multiple types of devices while keeping them all up to date. Dropbox charges more for it’s syncing ability so don’t be too surprised that the amount of storage is kind of small.
Otherwise they work great for me. It gives me peace of mind knowing my files are backed up.
