Nowadays, people get used to save lots of music, movies, and photos in their computer. Since they need a huge volume of hard drive storage, they usually either buying an external hard drive, or choosing a computer with a hard disk in an enormous volume. I am belong to this majority. I like to save the movies in my computer even I have watched those already. Also, I enjoy taking pictures with my family and my friends, so that I have stored about 2000 photos in my hard disk now. I have a 200GB external drive; however, it seems that 200GB memory cannot satisfy me since I store many files continuously. Dropbox: The Online Storage Solution We’ve Been Waiting For? in Techcrunch tells me that Dropbox might be a great choice or solution to share the load of my hard drive.
Dropbox is a great online storage solution to let people get the files which are uploaded online before. Not only storing data, but other people can also share those files with friends or co-workers. Once you enter the email addresses of who you want to share the folder with, they can easily share your files. Of course, when your friends add some files in the shared folder, you can download it to get the files also.
This kind of online storage like Dropbox is very useful and user-friendly to help people to access and share the files online, instead of storing the files in a flash drive or hard drive. Actually, the concept of Dropbox is similar to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Both FTP and Dropbox are used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network, such as over the internet. In my experience, my friend was sending many big files to me. He put those files to his ftp servers, so that I could download them easily.
Therefore, I believe Dropbox would be commonly used in the future. It is becasue more and more people have a sense of backing up their files in another place.
