Its the Sunday before your midterm exams. You have six essays due over the next week. Two for Monday plus exams, one for Tuesday, etc... You've been working on these since you got them and all you essays are almost done, just the works cited needs to be put it but suddenly there is a power surge and your left with a black screen and a computer that won't start.
You've just lost all your hard work. Its 6pm on Sunday night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Picture it:
Your living off campus and you've just returned home to find some one has broken into your house and stolen your laptop and with it all you work and important pictures of your exchange that you have not yet posted to facebook. Oh dear!!

Just to be clear these events have never happened to me but it has happened to two of my friends. Because of this I would like to tell you about Dropbox, a must have for every student. That includes you!!!
Dropbox is a simple easy to use and safe online file storage facility. Basically you create an account and download and install a dropbox folder and then everything you place in the folder is backed up to an online location so that if you computer dies and gets stolen all you work is still safe online. Also, if you have multiple computers you can sync the same files on each computer which is great for group projects and small businesses.
Well, I'll let you read more about it at Dropbox.com but really you should click the link and get it so there are no unfortunate mishaps!
