Almost a year ago, I started using this really great service for backing up my files called Dropbox. They currently have 3 plans: 2 GB of storage for free, 50 GB of storage for $9.99 per month, and 100 GB of storage for $19.99 per month. However, my main focus in this post is on the iPhone and iPad app for Dropbox. If you are ever in the need to have access to one of your files while your on the road, this app is for you. One of the first things you can set in the Dropbox app is the ability to have a passcode lock before viewing your files, which is an important security measure. Other than that, you pretty much have the ability to view all of your backed up files within the app itself. Sadly, not all file types are compatible with this app yet, but hopefully they will work on that. On the iPhone app, to view your files, you just tap the file you want and it goes to a separate window and lets you view the file. On the iPad, however, it is a lot nice with a bigger screen because if you turn it to landscape mode, you will be able to see a menu of your files on the left-hand side and a window to view files on the right-hand side. There is no way to edit any of the files in the app, but I don’t think there is any need to do it from an iPhone and iPad. I highly suggest this app if you are a Dropbox user like I am. This app is free in the App Store.
