Why You Should Use Dropbox
Our Swindon business advice column with Gail Gibson
Have you heard of Dropbox?
Dropbox is an online ‘cloud’ storage platform you can use to store files, images and video, or to share files with colleagues and friends. Growing in popularity among students and business owners, Dropbox is an excellent facility to integrate into your business. Do you already use Dropbox? If you’ve been using Dropbox for sometime you’ll know the benefits. As an introductory offer Dropbox gives you up to 2GB of storage which is ideal for standard files, however it can get eaten up quite fast if you need to store images and video. So how can you get more storage? Many of the mobile phone providers give you upgrades, sometimes up to 20GB, when you download their app on your mobile device. This can answer your mounting storage issues.
Here are 4 great reasons why you
should use Dropbox for business:
1. Access all devices. Dropbox allows you to download an app on your mobile device of choice. This means you can access or share files across any device, at any time, anywhere in the world. 2. Share Files. Need to send a large video file? Send it the
standard way via email and it will chug for ages or your email provider
will reject it due to its size. Share via Dropbox instead.
All you need to
do is send your friend or colleague a link to connect and view on Dropbox.
Alternatively you can set up a shared Dropbox folder so you can save,
access and view. This is very effective when you are co-working on
projects or programmes.
3. Backup. Utilise Dropbox to backup your work and personal
data within their cloud storage facility. No more need for DVDs or
additional hard drives cluttering up your office space.
4. On the Move. Delivering a presentation or training at a client’s
premises? Need to access files at a meeting with a new client? With
Dropbox your files will be safe in transit, and will be simple to access, no
matter where you need to travel and present across the globe!
Dropbox is just that – a platform where you can drop your files in a box, for easy and safe access, for you and your business, on the go. |
