What exactly is Dropbox?
Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online.
Works like you do
No complicated interface to learn. Dropbox runs in the background on your desktop.
Worry-free syncing
Sync your files automatically to your computers and the web.
It's everywhere you are. Sign in and access your files from any browser or mobile device.
Easy sharing
Sharing files with your friends and family is just two clicks away.
Photos
View your photos in a gallery and share them easily with anyone.
Here's how it works:
* Drag and drop to move files around, just like you normally would
* Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account.
* Green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date.
Worry-free Syncing
Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents. Any changes are instantly and automatically sent to any other computer linked to your Dropbox. Dropbox on Windows, Mac and Linux all play nice with one another too! Dropbox is also smart with how it tracks changes to files. Every time you make a change, Dropbox only transfers the piece of the file that changed (also known as block-level or delta sync), making it easy to work with big files like Photoshop or Powerpoint documents.
Access from anywhere
Not at any of your computers and want to grab one of your files? Just hop onto Dropbox's web site for access to your files from anywhere in the world. The web site is your Dropbox away from home. Download your files to computers that don't have Dropbox installed, or upload new files to be synced to all your computers.
Dropbox's web site is also like a virtual time machine that remembers every change you ever make. View or restore any previous versions of a given file. You can even undelete files that you may have accidentally trashed.
Share your files
Dropbox's shared folders make it easy for you to share a bunch of stuff with other people. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects, music/video editing, and much more.
* Any member of a shared folder can add, edit and delete the contents within.
* Collaborators of your shared folder won't have access to any of your files outside of that folder.
* Changes made to a shared folder are instantly sent to every member of that folder.
Need to share some files with non-Dropbox users? Just drop files into your Public folder. Any files in here will be given a link that you can send to others in emails, IMs, blogs, etc. without requiring people to sign up for Dropbox.
Show your photos
Want to share your pictures with friends and family? Just create a folder within the Photos folder and drop your pictures inside. These folders will be viewable in a gallery on our web interface. Galleries in your Photos folder also have a unique web address that you can share with others (non-Dropbox users too!) through e-mail, instant messaging, or blogs.
