Functionality

Dropbox Client allows users to leave any file in a designated folder. That file issynchronized in the cloud and in all other Dropbox client computers. Files in theDropbox folder may then be shared with other Dropbox users or be accessed from theDropbox website. Also, users can save files manually using a web browser.

While Dropbox functions as a storage service, focuses on sync and share files. It supports revision history, so that files deleted from the Dropbox folder can be recoveredfrom any computer synchronized. There is also functionality to know the history of a file you are working, allowing a person to edit and upload the files without danger of losingto previous versions. The history of the files is limited to a period of 30 days, although there is a paid version that offers unlimited history. The record uses delta encodingtechnology. 


To conserve bandwidth and time, if a file into a Dropbox folder of a user ischanged, Dropbox only uploads the file shares that are exchanged when synchronizing.Although the desktop client has no restrictions on file sizes, files loaded through the website are limited to a maximum of 300 MB each. Dropbox uses the Amazon S3 storage to save files and SoftLayer Technologies for support infrastructure.

PREZI

Prezi is a cloud-based (SaaS) presentation software and storytelling tool for exploring and sharing ideas upon a virtual canvas. Prezi is distinguished by its Zooming User Interface (ZUI), which enables users to zoom in and out of their presentation media. Prezi allows users to display and navigate through information within a 2.5D space on the Z-axis.

Prezi is used as platform for bridging linear and non-linear information, and as a tool for both for free-form brainstorming and structured presentation. Text, images, videos and other presentation media are placed upon the canvas, and can be grouped together in frames. Users then designate the relative size and position between all presentation objects and may pan and zoom in and between these objects. For linear presentations, users can construct a prescribed navigation path.

Prezi was initially developed by Hungarian architect Adam Somlai-Fischer as an architectural visualization tool. Prezi’s stated mission is to “make sharing ideas more interesting”, and it is intended to be an intuitive tool to develop and share ideas as a visual narrative.
