Dropbox is an alternative file storage option that can be downloaded onto both Macs and PCs. It allows users to access their files from any computer by logging onto their Dropbox account, and to also share files with several other parties. Dropbox is especially helpful when sharing extremely large files that may be too large to send over email.

Collaborative teams and remote teams would benefit from Dropbox because files can be accessed and edited as long as there is an internet connection to login to the account. It could be compared to cloud-based storage options, but Dropbox is significantly more integrated into the user’s main computer, and allows for sharing in a way that isn’t possible with some cloud-based options.
