What is it exactly?
Dropbox is a simple online storage solution that can sync with multiple PC’s running Windows or Linux or a combination of both and as an added bonus you can sync all that with your Mac’s too! Basically you have a folder on one computer and that folder magically syncs with the same folder on another computer or multiple other computers. It’s up to you.
What’s Good?
It’s Simple
Sync Capabilities
Dropbox isn’t only online file storage. Yes, your files will be stored online or ‘in the cloud’ as it’s now known but they are also synced on whatever PC’s or Macs you choose to install Dropbox on. This makes it perfect to say sync certain stuff on your home and work PCs or to share photos with your family if you live far away. No messy uploading to FTP sites or online photo sites; just simple drag and drop file operations right in Windows Explorer or your Mac Finder just like any other file or folder operation that you’re used to doing every day.
It’s Reliable & Trouble Free
I haven’t had to touch a setting, close and error message or visit tech support since I first installed Dropbox over 3 months ago.
What’s Bad?
Not much. Currently the Pro version has an upper limit of 100GB. That’s not even that bad. 
What Can I Use It For?
Well apart from online file storage and syncing, Dropbox can act as an online backup for your sensitive files and photos. The folks at Dropbox will also keep anything you delete from your Dropbox securely on their server for you to retrieve if the need arises. This is of course configurable through you account and so is the length of time you want to keep deleted stuff. You can even set this length of time to unlimited!
All I can suggest is that you try it out for free. They have a 30 day trial for the Pro version.
It’s worth trying the Pro version first for free and if you don’t want to continue with the Pro version after your 30 day trial then you can just downgrade automatically to the free 2GB version.
You’ve nothing to lose, except your files if you don’t try it!

I also like Dropbox. Recently I found out how to get 2.25GB for free instead of just 2GB. When you sign-up use a ref link such as this one https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTExNTk0NDI5
Yes, good idea Mike. However, there are some key differences between the free and pro Dropbox accounts. There’s the obvious size difference 2GB or even 2.25GB as you say versus say 50GB or 100GB as well as the conditions associated withe the free acccounts. For example, Dropbox reserve the right to withdraw free accounts at any time and they will also delete all you files if your account is idle for more than 90 days. It is advantageous to pay 10 bucks a month.
I guess it depends what you’re using it for. Personally, I back up all of my stuff that I absolutely can’t afford to lose if my laptop was stolen, hard drive dies, house goes on fire, etc so 10 or even 20 bucks a month for this peace of mind is well worth it.
