Dropbox: Files & Photo Storage
Cloud Drive & Photos Transfer
Dropbox exists to create a seamlessly synchronised digital life. Securely store important documents for cross-device access, work collaboratively and annotate editable files, share content of any size with just a web link and automatically back up your most precious photos.
What we love: The “make available offline” toggle for synced content is a day saver, and when tasks such as signing a document arise, it’s as easy as pointing the camera at papers, scanning, auto-cropping, signing and sharing. Be gone, fridge-sized office scanner! Incompatibility issues dissolve with previews for more than 175 file types, and you can edit Microsoft Office, Google Docs and PDF files – changes immediately sync so you always have the most recent version.
Quick tip: Tap the + button to the left of the iMessage field and select Dropbox for easy sharing of files directly within the conversation thread.
Meet the creator: Drew Houston co-founded Dropbox in 2007 and the company has evolved from designing a simpler way to keep files in sync to designing products that help people be organised, stay focused and get in sync with their teams. Their suite of apps includes Paper, for brainstorming and project work, and Dropbox Passwords, for managing and syncing passwords across devices.
