Cloud storage continues to rise in popularity. Dropbox remains one of the top choices for cloud storage, even though managing those files through their web interface isn't always easy. The Dropbox app can make file management much easier. You can edit, rename, move, delete, and much more - all while choosing to sync the information online or just locally. It's available for both personal and business users, and learning its nuances can help you get a better handle on Dropbox use.
Lance Whitney, technology writer and contributor to TechRepublic, walks us through how to use the Dropbox app.
You may use
Dropbox as one of your online file storage sites. But trying to work with your folders and files at the Dropbox website can be slow and clumsy. Alternatively, Dropbox offers a desktop app that eases the process of file management. Through the app, you can work directly in Windows Explorer or File Explorer to open, edit, move, copy, share, and print your Dropbox files. You can choose to sync your Dropbox files both locally and online or work with them only online to save hard drive space. You can use the app with both an individual Dropbox account and a business account.
Dropbox offers an app for
Windows,
Windows 10,
iOS/iPadOS, and
Android. But for our purposes, I'm going to look at the general Windows app.
How to install the Dropbox app for Windows
