Dropbox is a file hosting service that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, and personal cloud software. It allows users to create a special folder on their computers, which Dropbox then synchronizes so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same contents) regardless of which computer is used to view it. Dropbox also provides tools for file sharing and collaboration, such as the ability to share files with others and work on documents together in real-time.
