Dropbox
Rank: #67 on the Top 100 Free iPad Apps List as of July 28th
For: iPhone, iPod touch,iPad
Nowadays people never seem to work on just one computer station. Whether those stations include a home computer, work computer, or maybe your mobile device, working on multiple devices is the norm now. The Dropbox app offers a fabulous way to pool all your videos, important documents, and photos in one easy-to-access location.
The idea is simple: just save your file/picture/video to your own personal Dropbox account and then you can access it from your iPad, iPhone, and all your computers. As an added convenience, you can even get access to your file from the Dropbox website directly in the event you're on a device that doesn't have the Dropbox program installed.
When you start to think of the convenience this offers it’s hard to think of a reason why not to use Dropbox. Think about how nice it would be to access your files no matter where you are. You’ll never be without that important Word document, photo you wanted to show to your friends, or that hilarious video. You can take your work with you no matter where you are, so there's no need to be at the office 24-7. Also when you automatically save your videos and photos to Dropbox you’ll be given up to 3G of extra free space.
When you want to share a file/video/photo with your contacts there is no need to mess around with attachments - simply share a link which they can click on. If you’ll be doing viewing while offline, you can make use of the “Favorites” option, which allows you to add files to it so they will be there even when offline.
Another bonus about this app is the security feature. If you should ever lose your laptop or mobile device, your information will be safe because it is kept in the Dropbox folder and not actually on your computer or iOS device.
This latest version includes bug fixes, the ability to see all videos and photos in a handy and easy-to-use Gallery view, the ability to upload any sized file, and the option to delete and move multiple files at once.
Once you download this app you’ll wonder what you ever did without it.
