Do I still use e-mails to store frequently-used software in Ubuntu Linux? What should I do if I encounter a large file? Volume compression? Then upload the file slowly and then download it slowly! Waiting, endless waiting! If you want to know, you can operate the files on the network hard disk like the files on the local hard disk, and you do not need to delete all the items in the mailbox and put them in the network hard disk!

What we want to talk about today is Dropbox, a cross-platform network hard drive. Since it is a cross-platform, it is very convenient to use it in Ubuntu Linux. The official website of Dropbox is: https://www.getdropbox.com/

First, open the official website of Dropbox and download the latest client software, which provides the deb installation package for Ubuntu Linux. The installation is very convenient. It is basically OK to go directly to NEXT!

When you run the software for the first time, you will be prompted whether to log on to the network hard disk using an existing account or create an account. If you have never used it before, you can create a new user account. You can register the account by filling in simple information!

After the software runs, a new folder will be created on your local disk. This is also a special feature of this network hard disk. Files are actually stored on your hard disk. Therefore, operations on files on the network hard disk are also real-time without delay, don't wait. The synchronization task is handed over to Dropbox for execution in the background. You just need to perform operations on the files in the Dropbox folder just like using a local hard disk! If you have more than two computers installed with Dropbox, you can use the same account to log in, the files in the Dropbox folder on the two computers are automatically synchronized. You do not need to download any files manually. Dropbox will silently synchronize every modification to each file in the background.

In addition, Dropbox also provides the Undo service. If you accidentally delete a file in the Dropbox folder, you can find the file in the Dropbox "recycle bin, and can be restored to the local disk! Amazing! You are not about to register one! Free users provide 2 GB of storage space, which can fully satisfy our daily applications!
