You have 2GB of free space which makes it enough to store all your work and other leisure stuff (You can have up to 100GB if you choose their premium option, for a fee). It also works across mac and pc which makes it very versatile. You can work on any computer by logging into your account. Then, when you use your computer, everything will be automatically updated with your latest work.
Amongst many other supported devices, they have also launched an ipad application, which makes it very useful if you have one; you just have to put your stuff in your dropbox (in your computer) and you can then access it and edit it on the go with your ipad.
Sharing files is simple and can be done with only a few clicks. You can set public folders, where others can edit your work and collaborate. This can be very useful with photos too, and space is not really a constraint.
Dropbox backs up your files online without you having to think about it. This is done automatically and you can even have an undo history (very useful, believe me).
Furthermore it is very secure; all transmission of file data and metadata occurs over an encrypted channel (SSL). All files stored on Dropbox servers are encrypted (AES-256) and are inaccessible without your account password.
Dropbox was founded by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi in 2007, and received seed funding from Y Combinator. Today, Dropbox is well-funded by Sequoia Capital, Accel Partners, and Amidzad. Since launching publicly in September of 2008, we've attracted millions of users and are growing rapidly. We've been featured in the New York Times and on TechCrunch, and have won awards from places like PC Magazine and CNET.
