Backup, Sync & Share

I’ve written about backing up important files before. I think it’s a very important thing to do because it’s one of the worst things to have to deal with. I just recently had been turned on to Dropbox. Dropbox is a great program that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Today, I’m going to show you how to use it.

First you need to download the software. During the installation you will create your free account that gives you 2gb of storage (You can upgrade for more room at a cost). Once you have the software installed, you will have a folder on your desktop that you will be able to store your important documents. The great part of Dropbox is you can install the software on many computers and keep all the files in your Dropbox folder synced with all of the computers that you use. I personally use it to keep spreadsheets that I build at work available at home for me to edit. Another bonus for Dropbox is that there is a public folder where you can put files and then share a link with your friends to download any of the files you put in there.
