first, what is dropbox? basic yes, but i think this is a barrier for some people. they dont get what it is so they just dont use it. dropbox is basically a folder on your comp that copies any files you add to it to the cloud. thats it

without any explaining any other advantages, right off the bat this means that as soon as you hit save on that art piece youre working so hard on and it uploads, you have a copy of that file stored somewhere thats NOT your computers hard drive or your 2009 wd external

now i know what you might be saying: "i cant store my big phat philes online AND on my computer!!! i dont have the room!!" which brings us to the first big advantage: selective sync

with dropbox at least, you can choose which files youve uploaded that stay on your computer and which ones dont. that means you can create a folder that is ONLY online and move files there when theyre ready to be archived which in turn removes them from your computer

i cant even tell you the number of times this featured has pulled my grits out of the fire. advantage 3: dropbox basic and google drive are totally free. granted, you only get around 1gb of storage but its a good option for at least storing active files

but honestly dropbox pro - which gives you 1 terabyte of storage - is like... the cost of a netflix subscription. again, i understand that not everyone can swing that, BUT if you can afford to do like... 1 extra $10 commission a month it is definitely worth it
