DROPBOX

Dropbox is a file hosting service in the cloud platform, operated by the companyDropbox. The service allows users to store and sync files online and between computersand share files and folders with others.1 There are free and paid versions, each of whichwith various options.


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.
