Dropbox; That magic folder you've been waiting for!!

This week, I will be sharing with you a tool that can help to make your life easier.
Firstly, ask yourself these questions.
1) Do you have a laptop in school and a laptop/PC at home?
2) Do you often transfer files to your thumbdrive?
3) Do you email yourself documents when you forget your thumbdrive?

If your answer to any of the above questions is Yes, do continue reading!

Dropbox is a software that syncs your files online and across computers. Think of it like a magic box!
This means that when you drop your files(any files; word,ppt,excel,images)in a folder on your office laptop, it will also appear in the same folder on your home PC/laptop. You can also access the files online without installation into a PC/laptop. This is useful when you want to use the workroom PC stations.

Best of all, it is free! Well, free for a 2GB account! If you want a bigger account, then you got to pay.

Steps to follow:

Go to https://www.dropbox.com/ (You can check out the video to learn more!!)

Download and install dropbox in your office laptop. (You need JC/Nick to help you install)
Download and install dropbox in your home PC.

Create an account at https://www.dropbox.com/login#register

You are ready to start using this magic folder!
