In today’s home and work environments, managing and sharing files needs to be mobile, easy to access, and safe. This means that saving files on a desktop or on an external drive only is a thing of the past. More people are working hybrid and need to collaborate with others on projects. Making sure a backup of important personal documents and work is also essential. Not to mention, having a backup service just in case something happens to your computer or external drives.

Dropbox is an alternative to help sync files between devices and back them up.  It also allows information to be accessible from anywhere and collaborate with others.

Here are ten reasons to use Dropbox.

1.       Become Mobile: iOS or Android APPs available and use a computer from anywhere to access files. Even when you are on vacation or if your personal computer decides to not play nice right before an important meeting.

2.       Have cloud-based security: Files are encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit protocol; acceptable by th3e U.S. National Security Agency. Files are also viewed by authorized individuals only.

3.       Collaborate and share files: Each user requires a Dropbox account and can share files with colleagues and other collaborators. Password protected files keep security even tighter.  Connect with Dropbox Paper to invite collaborators and review projects.

4.       Sign documents online: Can’t print a document? Use Dropbox Sign to execute documents online and then email final documents to collaborators. It now becomes easy to sign Microsoft Word documents, Google Docs, and PDFs online.

5.       Track document analytics: Receive real-time document and video analytics to see how much time collaborators spend reviewing documents and customers spend watching a video through your website.

6.       Back up files, don’t lose important documents: Dropbox can automatically back up the files you have on your computer when each file is created or updates. External drive files need to be manually uploaded to Dropbox.

7.       Array of storage space: Free Dropbox users have 2 GB of storage and for a monthly fee, 3 TB of space can be available.

8.       Screenshot sharing: Sometimes you just need to take a visual shot of your screen quickly and share it. Drobox has you covered with a feature that will help save and share a link.

9.       File rewinds: Oops, did you mean to delete a file. Well, all hope is not lost. Free users can recover deleted files in 30 days and 180 days for paid subscribers.

10.   Have an offline work environment: Whether you are running low on data or working where there is no Wi-Fi, Dropbox allows users to view material offline.

MCB Consulting Group encourages clients to use Dropbox when sharing files. This includes tax documents, business information, and images.
