Dropbox is useful from multiple points of view. For starters, this popular program provides you with a quick and efficient way to back up your important files to your cloud service account.
Unlike Time Machine, Mac's default utility for backing up your data, Dropbox can save copies of your files at any interval of time you like. It runs in the background, without slowing down your computer. Plus, you can choose which of your folders to be backed up at the selected interval of time. So, no unnecessary data will be saved to your cloud service account.
Like most of the cloud service tools available on the Web, the developers of this program let you choose among various registration profiles. The free profile lets you back up a maximum of 2GB of data. You need to make certain payments in order to extend the upload limit. The acquiring prices are affordable comparing to the ones you see from other cloud service developers.
A very important advantage is the fact that Dropbox automatically syncs data when new files or changes in the selected directories are detected. What's more, you can share large files with people who don't own Dropbox accounts.
I use Dropbox on a daily basis for backing up personal and work files. It's one of the best cloud service tools I used so far. So, I definitely think you should give it a try.
