DropBox an online file backup and synchronization service - video tutorial

Hi, in today's tutorial I will present a free online file storage service, it's about DropBox, a very useful service for any PC user, which keeps important files safe, but it's best to tell you how it all started , as I discovered the "box".
I was sitting one day and wrote an article for a website and I thought how wonderful it would be to have a tool for automatic synchronization of documents, I can work on a new article would be anywhere without the need to port after me stick with any document that I'm working for the article. Open Firefox browser and start googalesc after such service and give over DropBox. An online service backup and synchronization of files of any type that provides 2G online storage space.

What exactly does this service DropBox?

With an account 2 is performed within minutes you will receive as I said above 2G online storage space and a customer will keep the files on your computer and sync the ones on the site. To be more exact and understand what I mean here's a little scenario: You work on a spreadsheet document say. Then over 30 minutes have to leave in another location or at work, assuming you have a laptop or computer wherever you go or work if you install DropBox client on that PC, it will automatically begin to download in respctiv PC file that you are working from home. Okay, you've downloaded the file, exactly as it was when the stage and work on it at home, edit it a little more add something, and save. Once saved the file and folder reinstated DropBox client will upload new modified version of DropBox file server. Arrived home at night and wanting to get back to work and editing on a file you can start right from the station where you ll your file was last saved. Is not that so awesome? You do not have to carry yourself after you with sticks and files full of data, given the small size of a stick we risk losing him and then I run out perhaps the most important documents, the little stick there might Remember that you carry and sit on it by mistake and it damage, crush it and many many more incidents can happen.

When we DropBox service useful?

You can work on a project simultaneously with your friends or collaborators. If you all use DropBox, and you have shared a folder with each other, one of you can upload a beginning of a document and the others can add, complete or modify the file or document and thus without even being next to each other, whenever you are , you can all work on the same document at once. Also, suppose you are a beginner in Photoshop, share a folder with someone more skilled, put the picture in that folder, the one who wants to help you download, modify… or do what you do not know how or you didn't succeed, put it back in the folder and you can resume working on that photo.

What options does DropBox?

- the ability to create or delete new files and folders
- the possibility to download files and folders through the browser or through the installable DropBox client
- the ability to move or copy files or folders from one folder to another
- the possibility to rename files and folders both from the browser and from the installable DropBox client on your PC
- the ability to share a folder with your friends
- the possibility to create an online photo gallery
- the possibility to see the history on the files that have been edited, deleted, moved, modified, renamed
- the possibility to restore modified or deleted files by simply selecting and choosing the “Previous version” option from the drop down menu. We can restore them both from the browser without having the DropBox client installed and from the DropBox client installed on the PC
- the possibility to add or disconnect at any time other computers to / from your DropBox account
- the possibility to rename the computers added to the Dropbox account in order to be able to distinguish them more easily
- the possibility to increase our storage space by 250 MB with each user who will register on DropBox through your referral link within the limit of 8G

Overall the service is great when you want to work jointly with others remotely on different projects or important documents for you. That being said I invite you to watch this video tutorial.

  • A good service especially for people who work together or who want to install a "dropbox" client on their PC. The problem is that it offers too little free storage ...
    Those who do not must necessarily those options can try on adrive.com services. They do not offer client can be installed in your PC, download and upload speeds are modest but offer an 50 GB storage space. They released 1998 (have old) seems stable service.
    Obviously there are additional options surcharge.

      Thank you very much for filling.
      Now what I can't understand ... and I have this "off" before, but since you still brought the discussion, I will say it here as well.

      I can't understand even in my head why God forgive me Romanian wants everything for free? everyone wants free, everything is free, whatever is free ... OK, I understand perfectly ... we are a "poor" country but if I ask those who want something for free, you CRAFTS FOR FREE offer something for free ? You greedy for free, do you go to work for free? Do you greedy people do something for free? why does the Romanian have the impression that everything must be due to him and that for him everything must be free? who are you or that or another to be given to you for free? what do you do for free to be offered something for free?

      Another aspect that I can't understand is the one in which people complain about free products, they die of these ... they can't anymore. I can't understand how God can complain about something since that something is offered to you for free? If you don't like it, don't use it and you're done but DON'T CRY !!! Or do you do something better and let's see how free your heart will let you distribute it, share it ??? Do you want quality? do you want something good do you want a professional software that doesn't bother you with popups and all kinds of ads and doesn't impose restrictions on you? Then pay money goguleeee, because no one is anyone's slave !!!! Do you want more storage space ???? then pay maneeee. You do not want? ok then don't complain anymore ... you are not allowed to complain about gratuities, it is not morally correct and not only morally, it is also a lack of respect for the one who thought about that more bitter and offered that product ... that he is lighter, that he is poorer in quality, that he is not full of positions, but he offered it to others for free !!!! I'm curious how many of you will have the belt to buy a hardware server of tens of millions and hard drives of tens of millions and to offer 50G storage space for FREE. Yyyy ??? how many of these mourners who complain about freebies can or keep their belt to beat their money to offer for free and the world to complain about their products ???

      Take things as such and obey!!! all have something to live in this world, one can not FREE, with no mention of the others get rich and you're not happier!

      • Adrian:
        Thank you very much for filling.
        Now what I can not understand ... and I maidemult the "off" but as you mention a conversation to say it here.
        I can not understand why no nohow romanu God forgive me wants everything for free? Everyone wants free, all free, all to be free ... OK, I understand perfectly ... we are a country "poor" but if I ask those who want something for free, I coveted these offer free turn AFTER you something for free? I coveted after these gratuities will go to work for free? I coveted these after gratuities make something for free? of the novel has the impression that everything has to be properly and that for him it must be free? who are you or ala or another to give you to you for free? what you do you are free to offer something for free?Another aspect that I can not understand is when people complain about free products, die guys ... I can not. God I can not understand how you can complain about something you since that is offered for free? If you do not like it do not use it and ready but you PLANGEEEE! Or do you something better and see how free heart will let you distribute, to divide?? Want quality? do something good? want a professional software that is not bothering you with popups and all sorts of ads and you will not impose restrictions? Then pay goguleeee coin, because no one is slave to anyone!! Want more storage space?? then Payable maneeee. Not you? ok then do not cry ... you're not allowed to complain about gratuities not moral and not only morally right, it's a lack of respect for the one who thought of that bitter and offered product guy ... he's he still sick as he is weaker, it's not full of features, but offer to others for free!! I'm curious how many of you will take the belt to buy server hardware worth tens of millions and tens of millions all drives and provide storage space for FREE 50G so. Um?? how many of these guys who complain plangaciosii gratuities or she can keep the strap to put their money on the line to provide free and the world to complain about their products??Take things as such and obey!!! all have something to live in this world, one can not FREE, with no mention of the others get rich and you're not happier!  

        yeah, right

  • I didn't want to upset anyone. I brought a supplement and that's it ... What should I do if they offer 50 GB free? It is their offer.
    Yes, it is a matter of mentality, the novel wants everything for free, no nohow will not buy a program, an operating system or a music CD.
    Why? simple. Maybe get them to do for free (it is a few clicks away).
    Between a free and simple program but one with many options, professional trade but, I usually choose the obvious trade.
    After all, it's still free ... :)
    Maybe you do not exactly right, but most Romanians (and others) do the same.

    • I did not mean to upset anyone. I brought a completion and ready ... What can I do if they offer 50 GB free? It's their job.

      Ok, it's your choice, but don't cry if you virus your PC by clicking on cracks and keygen, don't complain that it doesn't work I don't know what and that it gives you I don't know what error !!! Don't you have the guts to marvel or wonder "why?" when something goes wrong or doesn't run properly because you have no right, because you didn't pay for it, because you don't have and no one guarantees you pirated software and because it would be the culmination of insensitivity to complain about something that YOU OR ANOTHER STOLE! It is, I think, the lowest thing you could do, which is to complain about something STOLEN or to ask yourself why this and that doesn't work or why you make mistakes. Did you steal it? do you steal it? washed his head with it, did you steal it? you will "share" the same "value" of the fact.

        Right, there's the possibility of viruses or other stuff. But with backup + a virtualization program, this risk is minimal.

    • if I accidentally deleted everything after dropbox can get back what we had? there is something?

      • If you do not gloit and the Trash (trash), you can recover deleted files. When you log on to account through a browser you up an icon (a trash basket) if you hold your mouse over it writes Show deleted files. Click on it and you will display deleted files

  • I personally use SkyDrive (25 GB) and Microsoft Office Live Workspace (5GB). But this is pretty good and the service, just do not know how stable it is.

    • I personally use SkyDrive (25 GB) and Microsoft Office Live Workspace (5GB). But this is pretty good and the service, just do not know how stable it is.

      I personally also use SkyDrive ... it seems very practical and offers a lot of storage space ...

      • I personally use SkyDrive and all ... I find it very practical and offers a lot of storage space ...  

        and I'm using is this SkyDrive.

    • I personally use SkyDrive (25 GB) and Microsoft Office Live Workspace (5GB). But this is pretty good and the service, just do not know how stable it is.  

      It is very extremely stable, it is not a new service, outside it is an old "current", it is true that there is little space ... but with the possibility of upgrading the space either with money or through that referral link through which you you can increase space with up to 8G plus 2G that you have from the start makes 10G. And something extra that SkyDrive doesn't have is that Dropbox has no download or upload limit !!! On Skydrive you can't upload a file that exceeds 50MB but on Dropbox it doesn't matter the size, if you have 2G and you want to upload a movie that has 700MB, let's just say you put it in the My Dropbox folder and it uploads even if it has 700MB, so No upload limit !! - Dropbox advantage !!!

    • Cool, but I have a question how I could shoot in HD tutorials?, House very cool!  

      Everyone is good at their job, how about we all know how a jeweler succeeds or what he does to give such a beautiful luster to jewelry? would anyone take me to the jeweler if we all knew the jeweler's secrets? We would all stay home and polish our jewelry, wouldn't we? Everyone is good at what he does, everyone is good at his job, everyone has the secret of his job. In conclusion, this is our job as we succeed and without being upset it is our professional secret ...

      • Everybody's good at his job, why would all like to know what makes a jeweler or do to give it a nice sheen jewelry? May lead someone jumping jeweler jeweler if all we know the secrets? I stay at home and we all jewelry polish it? Everybody's good at what he does, each is good on his job, everyone has his trade secret. In conclusion it is our job as failed and without professional mind is our secret ...  

        Yes, you're right! So keep everything so XD

I installed a windows xp on it and I don't have a driver from he and I took them from the site from them and they don't work. and I also need an urgent driver for them and how do they work? .. Thank you in advance

  • Good tutorial. But don't make a tutorial about BitDefenter Free antivirus? Come on please, I heard good things about him ...

    • Good tutorial. What about antivirus Free BitDefenter not make a tutorial? Hai please more, I heard good things about it ...  Cite me

      There BitDefender Free. It's just a tool for scanning is not recommended to be used in place of antivirus, only for occasional scans. For this utility is not worthwhile to make a tutorial. But there are so many security offerings here! Do you meet any?

    • The Dropbox you 15 days free, after which you must pay  

      who lied to you like that friend? Do you have arguments? I've had it on my PC for months, I also said in the tutorial that I've been using it for a long time, who knows what scam page you came across ... come up with arguments if you keep making statements if you don't refrain from misleading the world.

    • The Dropbox you 15 days free, after which you must pay  

      For your general culture when a product is limited or has a limited term this must be specified. If it was as you say you didn't write Free but Free 14-day trial, I don't see anything like the word Free egru on white anywhere, don't say stupid things if you are not informed by others but those who will read your comment will be misled or they will laugh out loud and say "what a pampalau this is brother ... hear 15 days"

  • You said that the original file on the PC, changes automatically when you work on the "clone" online. I tried both ways (modified the file first on the PC, then I tried to modify the file online, but the automatic change did not happen, as specify in the tutorial)

    • You said the original file on your PC, automatically change when working on "clone" online.Am tried both ways (change the file on your PC first, then I tried to change file online, they failed to auto, as specified in the tutorial)  

      As you saw in the tutorial if you looked at it all the way to me it worked, but I did not just clear and demonstrated that ste true. Perhaps Dropbox client from your PC is blocked by the firewall that you have and do not connect to the server for files to sync. If you have Windows Firewall activated my advice is to disable that anyway dust, even more confused you, you in no way know when an app that blocks any
