Dropbox is a natural fit for photographers. With Dropbox, you can access images on the go, back up important work, and with the new app, Carousel, create image galleries that clients can view and comment on. Learn how to use the Dropbox cloud-storage service for all of this and more, in this course with author/photographer Derrick Story. Derrick reviews the photo-friendly features of Dropbox, including automatic backups, mobile apps to use Dropbox on the go, and smart syncing features to access the same library of images from your desktop, phone, tablet, and any device with cloud access.
