Intro
Dropbox is a cloud storage service operated by
American company Dropbox Inc.
Dropbox is a File Hosting Service that
offers Cloud Storage, File Synchronization,
and Client software.
Dropbox allows users to create a special folder
on each of their computers, which Dropbox then
synchronizes so that it appears to be the same
folder (with the same contents) regardless of
which computer is used to view it. Files placed in
this folder also are accessible through a website
and mobile phone applications.
