    I find Dropbox useful, because I have a backup copy of my work in the Cloud. It is great to be able to access stuff when I am out of office.

    I have used Dropbox for about 15 years, though having retired, I’m finding it rather expensive… It meets my (perceived) needs by providing a secure offsite backup for my photos and a handful of other things of importance. Over a very long career in which I was dependent on web services, I’m reasonably confident that it will remain in existence which wasn’t the case for dozens of ‘free’ storage options offered by by companies which are now but a memory. I’m always sceptical of the words ‘free lifetime’ or ‘lifetime subscription’ (which all too often means the lifetime of the company, before it goes bankrupt, changes owner or acquires a greedy CEO) in any publicity from a web-based company.

    Best wishes
    A

    I was lucky with Dropbox. When it started, you got an extra 500Mb for every email you recommended and they started it. So, I cheated !!! I've got around 13gb of free storage to play with for free.
