On-Line Storage – Dropbox

After my home computer died last week I have been looking at on-line storage options.  I signed-up for a Dropbox account.  Dropbox offers 2GB of storage space for free, 50 GB for $10 a month, 100GB for $20 a month.  Dropbox allows multiple computers to share the same folder and “sync” the files across each computer.  It also offers web browser access to your files.  It is hard to beat 2GB for free and you can “earn” additional free space by inviting your friends.  (Shameless request) Feel free to help me out out by signing-up through this link https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTUxNjUwOTM5
