Ten strokes to teach you to play cloud storage Dropbox

Dropbox is a reliable stand-alone file synchronization tool, the total number of users recently also exceeded the 100 million mark, and the current daily users upload the number of files saved, more than 100 million. It is also recognized as the most popular cloud service.

One of the big features of Dropbox cloud storage is ease of use-no need to ignore it once the setup is complete. But if you dig deep, you'll find that the app is more fun than you think. A website recently announced 10 tips, you can shake the body to become Dropbox master:

1. Get as much free space as possible

Dropbox provides 2GB of free storage space, and you can get 500MB extra for every friend you invite to use. In addition, clockwork can get an extra 125MB.

You can also keep an eye on Dropbox's official forum. In the past, a few GB of free space was available for testing in beta applications.

2. Keep your itunes synchronized

Dropbox can sync your itunes library between several computers, but you may need to upgrade to an advanced account to get extra storage, not just the multimedia itself, but your playlists, playback times, and sound settings will be synchronized. You simply move the media Library to the Dropbox folder, and then itunes points to the new path.

3. Recover deleted files

If you accidentally delete some important documents in the Dropbox, please don't worry, Dropbox will keep these deleted files for 30 days. At the end of the page to the file browser, click the "Show Delete Files" button can be seen (render gray), and then right-click Select "Restore" can be.

4. Automatically upload mobile photos

The Ios/android version offers the option to automatically upload photos and videos without further setup. Users can also choose to upload only on the WiFi network to avoid the consumption of mobile data traffic. Once the upload is complete, you can also delete the files locally to make room for more.

5. Turn on the 2-step certification to enhance security

2-Step certification means that setting up Dropbox on new devices requires more than just passwords, which Gmail already has. While ease of access is reduced, users who value security should not care. You can open this feature in the Security tab of the Dropbox Settings page, and then set up Dropbox on the new device not only to enter your account password, but also to move the device's password. Under the Security tab, you can also view the devices and applications currently connected to your Dropbox account.

6. Easy to share large files and folders

The sharing feature has been greatly simplified recently in Dropbox, especially for shared objects that do not have Dropbox installed. You can right-click any file or folder on the system's Web page and choose "Share Link". This link will give your contacts full read-only access via the Internet and can be downloaded on demand. Some file types (PDFs, pictures, and some formats of video) can also be previewed in the browser.

7. Back up your Facebook, Instagram and Flickr images

To implement this feature, you need to use a very popular web page to apply--IFTTT help. After registering the service, you can assign specific trigger rules, such as new images uploaded on Instagram and Flickr, or after you have been "circled" on Facebook-these images will automatically be sent to your Dropbox. Once you authorize IFTTT to access your social network account, you will find many possibilities.

8. Automatically download seeds

With just a little bit of preparation, you can get your home computer to download seeds from anywhere in the world. You need to create a Dropbox folder for the seed file, and then have your home computer's client software monitor the new files in the folder and automatically download the new content. No matter where you are, you can copy the seed file into the folder and the download will start automatically.

9. Selective sync

Since the birth of Dropbox application, selective synchronization is one of the most desirable functions for users. Now, this feature has finally arrived. Right-click the Dropbox icon, select Preferences, and then turn to the Advanced tab and find the Selective Publishing feature.

10. Collect a folder to allow offline access

When a folder is stored under a ios/android application, its contents are downloaded locally so that it can be accessed even if there is no network signal.
