Why is Dropbox?

The site created by farbox is not the same as that created by our blogs and sites in the traditional sense. It is actually a site created by using the Dropbox application API. The articles and directories of the website are stored in the "farbox" directory under the Dropbox application (APP) directory in the form of files or directories (the second-level domain name directory of the site is the content of the site ). The subdirectories created under your domain name directory are the directory categories of the site. each article is the TXT (Notepad) and MD (markdown) files in these directories. Even the configuration data containing the site is stored in your Dropbox in TXT format.

So far have you ever thought of something cooler?
