Dropbox is not so much a piece of software as a very useful service along the same lines as Microsoft OneDrive, Apple iCloud or Google Drive.  Dropbox's free plan offers two gigabytes of free online storage to save and share files as you see fit.  There are also paid subscription plans if you need more storage. Using the dropbox application will let you automatically synchronise files across multiple computers, tablets and smartphones. It also provides a very easy method of getting the photos and videos on your smartphone onto your computer. Finally, it also offers an easy method of sharing data with your friends without having to email huge attachments. Sounds complicated, but it’s much easier to use than you might think!
