I need more storage!!!! (Spotlight)

Drop box

Has the above ever happened to you? It's so frustrating! Now the decision is do you delete photos to make room or do you get rid of those old text messages? And by the time you decide HOW to make room, the moment has passed and you missed the picture. Ugggghhhhhh!!!!

So after much research, I found Dropbox.    

It's an app on my phone (and/or computer) that automatically downloads my photos to the cloud storage. Then, I can delete the pics off my phone but still have a copy. 

You can also use Dropbox to save files (word, excel, etc) or share them with others without having to email them.

Now to be honest, I don't like the way the website is set up, meaning I can't highlight more that one picture or file at a time. The apps are much better for file management, in my opinion. (You'd think the website would have more functionality.)

Now there is only a limited amount of free space. You could purchase more space or, do what I do. Periodically, I drag my Dropbox content to my external drive; then I delete my Dropbox content to start all over. Nifty right?

So I have a little deal for you. If you were to sign up for Dropbox on your own, they will give you 250 MB of space for free. But if you click my link, you will get an additional 500 MB. Cool right!

What is your opinion of Dropbox? Are there any other services out there that you like?

Until next time!
