Sync and share with Dropbox

Ensure access to your files across all your devices

REQUIRES Dropbox, macOS 10.13 or later

YOU WILL LEARN How to sync and back up your files using Dropbox

IT WILL TAKE 5 minutes

THE BEAUTY OF DROPBOX LIES IN ITS SIMPLICITY… BUT THERE ARE EXTRA FEATURES

IN THE PAST, sharing files with yourself and others over email was the norm. But it’s hardly an ideal method, as it’s an inefficient way to manage your files and clogs up your inbox to boot.

A much better alternative is to use Dropbox, an app that helped change the way we manage our files across multiple different devices. It lets you drop files into a folder that then whisks those files away to any other device that is logged in with the same Dropbox account. In an instant you can sync files wherever you need them to go.
