I’ve been a Dropbox user for as long as I can remember. To be clear, my Dropbox isn’t out of control. It just isn’t as neatly organized as I’d like – and I’m certainly not using Dropbox’s features to their fullest. Here are five of the things I’m currently using Dropbox for: Shared files with my wife. My wife and I share all of our pertinent files in Dropbox. I use Byword to blog, so blog posts are synced to Dropbox so I can work on them anywhere.

Dropbox just changed my mind. After trying out lots of online storage options early in my business, a few years ago I finally settled on Dropbox. I have come to love Dropbox, from the ease of use to features like having an expiration date on a shared file. In fact, I didn’t think Dropbox could do much more to make me fall any deeper in love than I already was. Dropbox, you have renewed our love affair.

Before Dropbox, I worked for a tech start-up and was the executive assistant (EA) to the CEO of an aircraft leasing firm. For the past year and a half, I have worked as the EA to the Head of Dropbox Europe and the Global Head of Customer Experience, but my role has recently changed. I’m incredibly lucky in regards to food – Dropbox has an amazing café at the office where we get free breakfast, lunch and dinner so I rarely eat at home during the week.

Unlike the other applications I’ve covered ( Evernote and Dropbox ), there’s not really much to write about in terms of how I don’t use it. By making a modest change to the rule I had set up, I managed to get the file into a shared Dropbox folder so that my wife can access the files as she needs them. By using prefixes in the file name (yet again) I am able to seamlessly get the files into Dropbox, and that speeds up things considerably on both sides of the equation.

Dropbox – in case you haven’t come across this yet, this is a great service for sharing files between say your desktop PC and your laptop without having to copy from your PC to a flashdrive, and then from the flashdrive to your laptop.
