You Should Use Dropbox and Expore These Dropbox Add-Ons!
Probably the most popular Cloud Storage Utility is Dropbox. Some of the ever increasing popularity of Dropbox is due to the open Application Program Interface (API), which has enabled third-party developers to release add-on tools of every kind.
If you are not familiar with Dropbox, it looks just like a normal folder on your hard drive, but when you place files on your Dropbox, they get uploaded online using some very clever cloud-based technology. Any data you put on Dropbox will be automatically downloaded on any computers you have Dropbox installed on.
With Dropbox you can share folders with friends, so they also get any new data you place in your Dropbox. You also get a public folder where you can add files and get direct links to them to share with the world.
In Part 1 we reviewed five great Dropbox Add-Ons you may find useful. In this article we will examine a few more!
Allow Anyone To Send You Large a Large File to Your Dropbox using DROPitTOme
Ever had a need for someone to send you a large file, but it was too large for them to attach to an email? This Add-On is just the ticket. This Add-On allows anyone to upload a file or files directly to your Dropbox account. Once you’ve completed the simple registration process, you will have a password protected web link unique to your Dropbox account, ready to send to anyone that needs to send you a large file. They simply open the link in a browser, key in the password and select the file(s) to upload to the “DROPitTOme” folder in your Dropbox account.
You Can Backup and Share Saved Data with Dropboxifier
You’re normally not allowed to change the location of important location files, but Dropboxifier allows you to ‘trick’ application files to read and write to Dropbox. You can then install Dropboxifier on another computer to access and edit the application data simultaneously. The result is that you will have all your settings or data from your primary computer on the secondary one.
Take you Dropbox Everywhere with DropboxPortableAHK
Most public computers do not allow you to install applications, but if you heavily rely on Dropbox for your work, then you should get DropboxPortableAHK. Like other portable applications, this small application lets you run Dropbox from your flash drive, which means you can sync and have all your files with you wherever you go.
Record Audio and Load to Your Dropbox with DropVox
DropVox is an iOS audio recording app for the iPhone that instantly uploads the audio files directly to your Dropbox account. It records to a M4A audio format. The recording files are automatically named with the current date and time of the recording to make it easier for you to find in your Dropbox folder. This Add-On will set you back $1.99.
