No More Flashdrives: Drop it in your "Dropbox"

Several companies have expanded their brand or recognition through the transition to smartphone apps, and "Dropbox" is definitely one of these. Originally, this computer program would allow users to install what looks like a regular folder onto their computer and "drop" files or pictures into it, instantly updating all other Dropbox folders installed on separate computers. This meant you could install the program into your mobile laptop, onto your home, work computer, or any other computer and create a universal folder that would hold up to 2GB worth of data and update itself (with an internet connection) in every location. Dropbox also made it possible to create "shared" universal folders, that would allow people with their own Dropbox accounts to make a "folder" that would only be updated by you or them. I personally shared several music files and pictures in this way. Dropbox released their free "app" version of this program, which now makes a user's Dropbox files available on their smartphone devices and tablets, so that if you take a picture or create any sort of document in these, it's also easy for you to "upload" a file into a Dropbox folder and update all your locations. Essentially, this would erase the need for a flashdrive, as long as you have easy access to internet connectivity, which these days is available in most places. For a full review on this app, visit the iTunes store on any compatible device or the company's website here.
