The key functionality is, however, hidden away elsewhere. The new Windows 8 app is small and rather basic – at the present time you can browse, preview, share and search for files in your Dropbox folder through the rather minimalist interface, but there’s no facility for manipulating files in any way within the app itself. You can also access your DropBox files from the web, if you need access from a temporary host PC. If you own a desktop computer at home, use another at work and a laptop when you’re away from the office, simply use DropBox to synchronise your important files across each machine. You can just use DropBox on a personal level, too. Versioning will stop work being overwritten.

You can share folders and collaborate with other users on the files within these folders. That bit is done automatically, so you don’t need to worry about having to upload the files manually. DropBox is an online sharing tool that enables you to select the files you want to share and synchronise with other users, then simply upload them to the remote site.
