Dropbox is not a leader in the cloud storage service. But it was the first well-developed services to synchronize data between devices together. Words that Dropbox has solved the "suffering" of users of information technology today is how to manage a heterogeneous data between devices. If you remember the time before the sync online service, use USB to copy data back and forth is the most common method at that time. In particular, update the version of Office files such as Word, Excel, Photoshop ..... it is a nightmare. Every time we have to edit dozens of different versions and they need to be updated manually between devices, users file to get a uniform. Procedure Delete, Copy and Paste has become a depression, but the very frequency of each of the time. But with the advent of Dropbox, daily work easier, data sharing becomes simple and very convenient too. Data that has been updated at all times, everywhere and especially 100% automation .
Activity reward capacity, increasing the number of users
Number of users really explode when Dropbox bonus policy applies to new users capacity. Write to me this should not need to explain too much about this program because it was too familiar to users VN, clone themselves registered for increasing capacity is part of the all too familiar in the blogosphere. Despite such shortcomings, the number of new registered users increased steadily to 60% compared with before the application program. Within 30 days of application programs, users sent 2.8 million letters of invitation. An incredible number for a new service like this (according slideshare.net). That is just one of many activities that Dropbox creates opportunities for players to participate in and won the top prize is to increase the capacity of her. Some activities such as Dropquest, Dropbox free, Edu Dropbox events are created and received enthusiastic response from the user community. Without knowing it, they make the user excited (participants to get free space) and gradually convincing users to stick with a new product that is almost never known before this.
Features full and free
operation of the Dropbox method is to provide fully featured completely free, if you will only need to pay extra to get a bigger box with a larger capacity. Recent survey, I have seen a great amount of user comments compare a maximum capacity with new services such as promotional crisis Box.com with up to 50GB for free personal accounts. But in fact usability is to synchronize data between devices is missing, only to be used when you have to pay for more advanced account. Invisible medium it took convenience makes the core success of this service. Ask yourself one thing, do you really use 50GB or 25GB of Microsoft's Skydrive Box.net which always have to manually upload, and then updated or not. For me 2GB (free) Dropbox meaningful and far more useful.
The interface is simple and effective
Simple philosophy to fit the majority of people is the development of Dropbox. Do not cram too many things, just focus on the core products that automate and synchronize sharing is easily the brightest points of the service Dropbox to sync another cloud. Home Page Dropbox can say is my favorite site with beautiful colors, very simple and do not cram too many other sidebanner. To up a simple file is just drag and drop into the Dropbox folder on your computer. Shared folder mainstream interface is all that is needed for the simplicity of this service. Let's compare Dropbox is similar to the SugarSync service, a service that offers the ability to synchronize data with prices free such as Dropbox. SugarSync has many advanced features that Dropbox is not possible. But let us ask whether you really need to use those things do not? It really cause problems for people when you only use a single simple as sync and share data. However, customers may differ between services like SugarSync or Box.net, but for ordinary users, the dense interface features of these services is second to score points for Dropbox. Dropbox is a good example and best practice for Cloud Computing technologies. It created a change and become an essential part of digital life today. There are many questions raised as to whether Dropbox can be replaced by a variety of other services like Microsoft Skydrive, Box.net, iCloud .... One thing I can confirm that Dropbox is on the right is his way, that is inclined by persons of ordinary objects. Sure, Dropbox is a service would still be deep in the mind of the user in a long time in the future.
