Tools Every Student Should Use: Dropbox

Ok, So being in school for most (78%) of my life, I've gotten pretty good at things. If you want to win at school, i'm going to start a series of posts on tools I think every academic should be using. Even if you're out of school, if you want your computing life to be easier, you should check out these tools.

The first one is Dropbox.

Dropbox is like a flash drive that you can never loose. It's simply a folder on your computer, that gets backed up online automatically. So if you spill coffee on your laptop, or simply are in a computer lab without your computer, you can still access your files. Dropbox also is great for collaboration, as it allows easy sharing of files amongst groups. It can also sync your files across multiple computers (so, my dropbox folder on my work computer will always have the exact same files in it that my dropbox folder on my laptop has).

Dropbox is free, and you can get more free space by following a tutorial and inviting friends, so go ahead, and get dropbox today.
