If you haven’t heard of a program called Dropbox yet, now you have.

For anyone who would like to sync files between multiple computers/devices or if you would like to back up certain files with online storage, Dropbox has you covered. 

I am currently using two different computers. When Dropbox is downloaded on both computers and you have signed into your account, all of the files located in the Dropbox folder will be stored online. As soon as I save a file to one computer, the other computer let’s me know a change has been made. If you make changes to a file while offline, it will sync to your account as soon as you are reconnected to the internet. 

If you really need a file and don’t have your computer handy, don’t worry about it. You can log into your Dropbox account from any computer using their website and download the needed file.

You can also get the iphone app that allows you to access your files from the device. Although you can’t make changes to files from your device, you can set certain ones as “favorites” - meaning you can view them even when you’re not online.

The free account comes with 2GB of storage. It isn’t much if you are looking to sync picture, music, or video files, but I use my free account to make sure my office documents are accessible from anywhere and are backed up for safe keeping. You can also pay for more storage space if you’d like.

I would highly recommend using Dropbox.
