Dropbox is a Great Online Backup Solution

I used Drop­box for the first time today, and I must say that I am impressed by it’s ease of use. Tonight, I was lit­er­ally able to swap files between Mrs. White’s old and new lap­top with the ease of drag­ging and drop­ping files from folder to folder.

She didn’t have a lot of files, so the free 2GB option was plenty, but it’s nice to know that you can get up to 100GB for $20/mo.

I lis­ten to a lot of talk radio and often hear adver­tise­ment about Car­bonite and Bar­racuda, and other sim­i­lar ser­vices, but it’s nice to see Drop­box offers a free ver­sion for the casual user. If you ever out grow your 2GB, you always have the option to pay for more space.

Drop­box is a great file server for small busi­nesses too. The pos­si­bil­i­ties are end­less. I was so impressed with the ser­vice, that I am using it myself, and set­ting it up for all of my customers.

Did I men­tion that Drop­box has a free app for the iPhone, iPad, and Android, which allows you to
Access and view files in your Drop­box, down­load files for offline view­ing, and take pho­tos and videos and sync them to your Dropbox.

Here is a video on the Drop­box ser­vice, that explains what is does, and how it can take the has­sle out of back­ing up files, while elim­i­nat­ing the risk of los­ing your data. Enjoy.
