Your Own Cloud Storage!

Are you tired of carrying around your office documents, school projects, assignments back and forth from two or more particular places? These files are small but carrying them around and synchronizing them is tedious. Yes, there are removable flash drives but removing and connecting them is as early told, tiresome. You may even lose those drives just before your office or classroom presentation. Instead of standing in front of your friends, colleagues and apologizing for losing your small micro-SD, you should head over to cloud storage. The free online storage application “Dropbox” will help you survive above stated problems. Here is a quick tutorial to show you the process of installing Dropbox and its unique features to look forward to.

Installing Dropbox:

One:

Head over to www.dropbox.com. (Watch the introductory video for learning what Dropbox is made for.)
