The term "cloud computing" has been increasingly widespread in the technology industry and many companies are already adopting this system to manage their files.
What's "cloud computing"?
In a nutshell, computing-on-cloud is a practice where file processing and storage is done on an Internet-connected server, that server, which you have access to with your home computer.
Ex: I can edit a text file directly on the server I own without having to save that file on my personal computer, edit and then resend to the server.
I can see that, right?
With the popularity of this concept, cloud-based functionality services began to emerge and one of them is Dropbox.
Dropbox
Dropbox is a computer-in-cloud storage service that was released in 2008, but its fame didn't come until mid-2010. The service offers 2GB of free space to store and sync your files, but you can increase this space by simply indicating friends to use the service. In addition to the free plan, Dropbox offers business plans ranging from 100, 200 and 500GB of storage.
You can host photos, videos, compressed files, text files, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. Anyway, you can keep almost any file in your account, and you can access it on any computer or smartphone that has internet connection.
