Organization is something that can go either way. Some people need it, some people can do without it. As an entrepreneur I believe that organization promotes accessibility. Accessibility, in my opinion, is something every entrepreneur needs. Both organization and accessibility are the two main attributes that the application Dropbox provides. Through the applications simple and slick interface an individual is able to send their files to a virtual cloud. They can send word documents, videos, pictures, presentations, pretty much anything digital. The great thing about Dropbox is that these digital things can be accessed anywhere anytime as long as you are connected to a network! Personally, this is a huge help. For example, say I had a meeting at 5 pm and I had to use a power point presentation I made on my home desktop. Instead of having to rush to finish the presentation I could simply upload it to Dropbox and virtually take my work to the office. It’s simple, quick, safe, and, most importantly, available.

I have personally used Dropbox and it has been kind of a life saver. I recently got a new phone and was able to upload all of the photos stored on my old phone onto my new phone using Dropbox. So yes this tools accessibility is very helpful; and as long as the accessibility aspect is there i will continue to use it.
Like Daniel, I use Dropbox quite a bit. I like how they create a worry free place where you can keep documents you really can’t afford to lose. The thing that makes Dropbox the go-to for me is the UI, as you mentioned above. You can’t beat it.
Dropbox is pretty slick, but I’m already comfortable and aquanted with Google Docs which is, as far as I know, the same thing. I’m sure there are key differences that I’m just not aware of. Both are super useful tools, even though I’ve always been weak on organization. Thank you for reminding me of the existence of Dropbox, Mr. Stevie Wonder.
Dropbox is a life saver. If I have anything important I’m working on I throw a copy of the file on there just in case something happens. Its great for group collaboration as well.
