Dropbox is even better on the iPhone!

I have been a longtime user of Dropbox, probably since the company first started.  I use it routinely on all of our PCs and laptops and recommend it to all my clients and friends and anyone else who will listen.  My wife and 3 daughters even use it.

You get 2 GBs of FREE internet storage to start and everytime you recommend someone and they install it, Dropbox will give you another 250 MB free up to 8 GB.  If you go to the Dropbox website and login, Dropbox makes it easy for you to recommend all your friends, coworkers, relatives, church members, etc.  Just click on the Get extra free space link and fill in e-mail addresses.  They even have an option that will allow you to invite all your friends on Facebook or Twitter.  Hurry up and do it before someone you send the link to beats you to it!!!

So anyway, I’ve taken Dropbox for granted all these years until I recently installed Dropbox on my iPhone.  I did it to solve a problem all iPhone users have who take a lot of pictures with their iPhone – sending them.  You can only send pictures one at a time and it is very slow.

With Dropbox, you have an Upload Photos option built in that makes it very simple to send as many photos to a folder on Dropbox as you want.  You tap the Uploads button in Dropbox, it takes you to your Photo Albums, you tap/tag any photos you want to Upload and then tap the Upload button.  Then just set back and watch the progress bars scroll across your screen as it does them one after the other, en masse!

Even if you don’t have anyone to send your pictures to, it sure is nice to know they are safely backed up on the Dropbox website.

After tapping the Upload button, your photo(s) are uploaded to your Dropbox.  The photos are then available from anywhere you have an internet connection.

For Road Warriors/Mobile Users Dropbox is a must have!

All iPhone users should download the Dropbox app.  Get it for your iPhone at:  https://www.dropbox.com/iphoneapp

Get it for your desktop/laptop at: https://www.dropbox.com

If you are lucky/cool enough (or don’t have a wife and 3 daughters to support) to own an iPad, get it at:  https://www.dropbox.com/ipad

Of course Dropbox works with Macs, iPads, Windows, Android, Blackberry and Linux too.  Also, it is very inexpensive to buy more diskspace if you need it.
