Dropbox Explained in 10 mins

by | Last updated: Dec 7, 2022

Dropbox Explained – The Cloud & Dropbox

This is a web-based file hosting service

It uses cloud computing to enable users to store and share files and folders with others across the Internet using file synchronization.

There are 2 parts to Dropbox

The Dropbox application (Client) & The Dropbox web interface (Server) Shared folders allow a group of people to collaborate on the same set of files.
Any additions, changes or deletions made will be seen by all members of any shared folder. Shared folder members only have access to the folder you share with them, and not to the other contents of your Dropbox account.

Dropbox explained – Still with me?
Dropbox is a master folder on your computer that synchronizes your individual folder files online and across other computers using the internet.

Accounts & FOLDERS
Sharing Folders – REQUEST. You send a REQUEST to share a folder by email to give someone access to specific files or folders.

Adding other Computers
If you work on multiple computers, install Dropbox on each one. Add another computer to your Dropbox account. Install the Dropbox client on that computer by downloading Dropbox on that computer too. Select ‘I’m an Existing User’ then enter your Dropbox account info, as in username, which is usually your email address and the password you created. The contents of your Dropbox will start downloading to your computer. Or you can choose to view the contents ‘online’ only – your call.

Dropbox Benefits
It is Free (Limits do apply, such as 2 GB of space free). The paid version is $9.99 a month.
It is Private & Secure
It is X-Platform Friendly
It is Mobile ready
Simple version control
Simple disaster recovery

The Dropbox application offers a solution to two nagging problems:
1. Working on files on different computers
2. Sharing files with collaborators

Why does SEO pricing vary so much between agencies in Ireland?

Is it worth investing in SEO for a small business in Ireland?
