Dropbox is a sync disk, Box.net is a network disk

Since the seamless use of Dropbox, it has been a long time, but only a pitiful 2G space, can not make any demon moth, Dropbox, the world is known. Baidu Cloud disk 2T space, but I do not dare to put important things in the inside.

In the absence of a USB flash drive, I often put the important things in the mailbox, then the mailbox is in M, 2004 Gmail to G-class capacity to quickly occupy the market, soon the major service providers began to launch G-class services, so there are cows to develop the mailbox space into a network of tools, the impression of Deep is mailmagic , this time there is a 128M USB flash drive, so you can put mailmagic into the USB flash drive, with a few g of content play everywhere.

NetEase Mailbox launched a network disk, is an ancillary function of the mailbox, limited capacity (sorry, forget). At that time the network disk or Simple network disk, can only provide upload and download, positioning is very clear, we put things into the plug. Then is the 115 net disk, provides the sharing function, in everybody thought wants to unified the lake, but has had the policy dry dead technology, but this policy did very right, promptly curbed the improper resources dissemination.

On the other hand, there are almost two services--dropbox and box.net at the same time. In fact, the two are initially two positioning: Dropbox is the sync disk, Box.net is the network disk. Just in the later development, the difference between the two is getting smaller, or people have ignored their differences. The network disk is generally considered a large capacity, such as box.net can eventually expand to 50G, the domestic is the T-Class network, at will to plug things, and then share to others, and synchronization disk more focus on the synchronization of functions, such as Dropbox can achieve a difference in synchronization, only synchronize the modified content, not the entire file resynchronization. In fact, in the network developed today, this advantage can be ignored, so we are about equal to the domestic network disk can realize the function of the synchronization disk.

I think, synchronization disk and network disk, or separate use better, professional things to the professional to do. I often buy vps, and then Amway Btsync, many people will say, so little space to do the network is too small. However, they all misunderstand the location of the Btsync, for the free version, this is a no-no synchronization disk, not a network disk, because it is to keep synchronization of the contents of several directories exactly the same, what is on the server (if you build it), the local will have what, selective download, on the pro version. Whether Dropbox or box.net abroad, are more inclined to sync function, their own production of things put in the inside rest assured. Domestic Baidu Cloud disk, 360 cloud disk, and so on, although it can be very convenient synchronization, but think of their urine sex, or as a net disk with the appropriate point. How to use the net disk? is to put things that are downloaded from other places, or shared links that others send, and throw them all in.
