Dropbox FREE file sharing software.An easy way to get your photos to the Webmaster so they can be loaded onto theweb and be available to the Editor for publication in “The Wheel”. Although Dropbox is a cloud storage site I do not use it to store my photos. I burn them to disk. Ionly use it to share photos, that way I will never run out of space and have to purchase an upgrade, which I think is the idea behind offering a limited storage spacefor free.The Dropbox app for PC or MACs offers an intuitive interface that allows users todrag and drop their files into cloud storage, which will then sync in the background.While it can use its share of resources during setup, it is one of the most reliableways to store and share files remotely on a PC, all while ensuring they are protected against loss or damage.Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account. Green checkmarks will appearon top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date. All data istransferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage.
