File Sync

Dropbox allows you to sync your files online and across your computers automatically.

  • Work on files in your Dropbox even if you’re offline. Your changes sync once your computer has an Internet connection again.
  • Dropbox transfers correctly resume where they left off if your connection drops.
  • Efficient sync: only the pieces of a file that changed (not the whole file) are synced. This saves you time.
  • Doesn’t hog your internet connection. You can manually set bandwidth limits.

File Sharing

Sharing files is simple and done in only a few clicks.

  • See other people’s changes instantly.
  • Public folder that lets you link directly to files in your Dropbox.
  • Control who is able to access shared folders. Kick people out and remove the shared folders from their computers.
  • Automatically create shareable online photo galleries out of regular folders.

Online Backup

Dropbox backs up your files online without you having to think about it.

  • Automatic backup of your files.
  • Undelete files and folders.
  • Restore previous versions of your files.
  • 30 days of undo history. Upgrades available for unlimited undo.

Web Access

A copy of your files is stored on Dropbox’s secure servers. This lets you access them from any computer or mobile device.

  • Manipulate files as you would on your desktop. Add, edit, delete, rename, etc.
  • Recent Events feed that shows you a summary of activity in your Dropbox.

Security & Privacy

Dropbox takes the security and privacy of your files very seriously.

  • Shared folders are viewable only by people you invite.
  • All transmission of file data and metadata occurs over an encrypted channel (SSL).
  • All files stored on Dropbox servers are encrypted (AES-256).
  • Dropbox website and client software have been hardened against attacks from hackers.
  • Dropbox employees are not able to view any user’s files.
  • Online access to your files requires your username and password.
  • Public files are only viewable by people who have a link to the file(s). Public folders are not browsable or searchable.

Mobile Device Access

The free application for iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Android lets you:

  • View files from within the application.
  • Download files for offline viewing.
  • Take photos and videos and sync them to your Dropbox.
  • Share links to files in your Dropbox.
  • Export your files to other applications.
  • Sync downloaded files so they’re up-to-date.
