Various team members can be invited to share a folder. Note: Be careful not to delete out of your Dropbox folder as this will be deleted from all users. The good news is that it can be recovered from the browser, but its extra work so try to avoid it. With this in mind, don’t advise working with Dropbox as your “working version” and rather to copy files in there for sharing. This will then download and sync all shared user folders. If you are saving directly into your Dropbox folder, every time you save it will upload and sync to the online version. Anything that is added or deleted from the folder will be mirrored across all shared users. If you install the desktop version it automatically creates a folder on your drive. That folder is mirrored online, and with the person who is shared on the folder. When we update our files, they are automatically updated on your side – it’s like having your own virtual server!ĭropbox has an option to either work via the browser or to download the free and secure application onto your device (desktop computer, tablet, cellphone etc). You can work via the browser, but I tend to find it a bit clumsy. All files are stored online (cloud storage) and with individual shared users. FILE SHARING:ĭropbox is like a virtual server. Dropbox shares options for you to both earn extra space for free and to upgrade to options better suited to your requirements. Dropbox comes with a standard 2GB free option. This also means that your inbox is not too large (which may cause issues on your side). When working with graphic designers, our files are often large, so Dropbox will allow us to share files with you without bouncebacks etc. Many email servers have file size issues. Here are the top reasons our Graphic Design studio use Dropbox. It’s one of many great cloud-based production tools we use, so I wanted to share it with you.Ī: Dropbox is a file sharing application. Basically it is an alternative way of sharing attachments (documents etc) instead of email.ĭropbox does not replace email in terms of collaboration and communication, but it has an important role in sharing files. We are avid users of Dropbox – no, we’re not paid to blog about the application, but it has made a big impact on the productivity of our graphic design studio.
