I started using this cloud storage, specifically Dropbox, to access files on multiple computers at work, my home laptop, and my smartphone. I easily access my files through the Dropbox website or through a Dropbox folder I downloaded onto my devices. When I save it in that folder it's automatically synced with all my devices connected to that folder. Dropbox provides users with 2GB of storage for free or users can subscribe and pay for up to 100GB of storage. I found this to be a simple way to keep all my devices updated without having to transport files using an external storage device. I always have the most up-to-date file on each of my devices and Dropbox saves a history so I can access older versions of files.
