Dropbox is a software which enables you to share files and folders across the online platform, by synchronizing them with your offline storage.In order to start using Dropbox, you must create an account. You can either set the tool to sync all the folders in your Dropbox, or you can use "Selective Sync" to choose particular ones.
Basically, Dropbox installs a folder on your computer in which you can copy or move data to share online.
So, if you want to access your Dropbox files from another location, simply log in with your username and password on the developer's website.
You can view, download or upload contents directly in the web browser if you don't have the Dropbox application installed on the computer.

Here are some key features of "Dropbox":
Synchronization:
· Once installed, any file you drop into your Dropbox folder will synchronize and be available on any other computer you've installed Dropbox on, as well as from the web. Also, any changes you make to files in your Dropbox will sync to your other computers, instantly.
Backup:
· Let's say you accidentally delete that 8 page report that you were supposed to have for a meeting tomorrow. A handy Dropbox feature is the ability to undelete files or pull up any previous versions of it.
Sharing:
· You can also share files and folders with whomever you choose, whether it be music with buddies, docs with colleagues or photos with grandma, even if they're not Dropbox users.

Speed:
· We obsess over speed, and it shows. Dropbox is very smart about the way it handles files. For example, if you make a change to a huge file, dropbox will only update the piece of the file that changed.
Security:
· All files are transported over SSL and encrypted using AES-256 (banks use this too).
