A Ray of hope in the Cloud

CLOUD COMPUTING BRINGS A RAY OF SUNSHINE

 

Cloud computing is actually a lot of things but one service is remarkable in its ease of use

and effectiveness. Part of the reason for that is the fact that the service comes out of the box

(so to speak) ready for use on ALL you devices. Yep Microsoft Windows Mac OS/X Linux

and all the phone platforms.

 

Dropbox is clever. Not just a cloud but a preassigned cloud. You start with creating an account and then you “add” each device you want to have share the information you store in your dropbox account. Once you have done that all your information is available on all your devices in real time ! And that means you can stop fussing about with uploads / downloads / USB sticks / CD/DVD or external hard drives.

 

Sit down at the computer or flip open the phone and your stuff is there. Pictures, documents, pdf whatever it is you can keep in the cloud and make available to you where ever you happen to be. No more worrying about having the latest copy, dropbox takes care of that as well. Its like having your own personal internet locker. Except that it follows you around. Some of us mobile folks need to access our data here and now. Dropbox makes that happen quickly and simply. Some of us have grown tired of having to move from workstation to workstation to get our data and Dropbox handles that as well.

 

In addition to all that you can share your dropbox folder or file with any other dropbox user, which makes collaboration easy to enable for coauthoring documents and projects and what not.

 

It is a great little service that packs a powerful punch. Saving you time and effort which translates in to saving money. Let me know if you want to know more, contact me at: San Rafael Computer Repairs
