Dropbox Boasts Host Of Added Value Plugins To Supercharge Service
Dropbox is fast becoming one of the de facto ways of storing and sharing files between computers, friends and colleagues – and deservedly so. One of the key factors with Dropbox is that it just works – out of the box so to speak – and is simplicity itself. If only it could sync any folder on your PC without having to faff about with third party command line programs! I suspect that most people use Dropbox “as it comes” but the company’s site lists a substantial of plugins and bolt on goodies for all OS platforms to enhance the way you can work with the service. I think you will be suitably impressed with what is on offer.
