With the increase in reliable and fast broadband, Cloud Based Services are becoming more popular, included in these are Cloud Based Storage facilities like the popular DropBox service.
DropBox is a great utility which provides a virtual Disk Drive held on a secure Internet based host, which is linked to a folder on your home computer. When you copy a file to your DropBox folder the DropBox software transparently copies the file to the Web based drive, and if you add any files to your DropBox on a different device when you turn on your computer your local DropBox file synchronizes with the Web based version, so you can work on the same document on different machines, you can even give access to files to other DropBox users for collaborative working.
You can access and add to your DropBox files on the iPhone by using the official free DropBox App, search for Dropbox in the App Store.
You will also need to sign up for a drop box account (there’s a free option) by clicking here.
You can now take all your files with you everywhere you go and access them with your iPhone.
