Top 5 Dropbox secrets

Useful tips to power up your Dropbox

SWITCH FOLDERS

Dropbox stores a folder on your Mac where you can also copy content or sync it. To change its location, click on your avatar in the menu bar item and go to Preferences>sync.

GET MORE SPACE

Rather than paying for extra storage you can get gifted more by linking Dropbox to other services, such as Facebook and Twitter, and referring friends and family.

LAN SYNC

If you have multiple computers in the same household that use Dropbox, then go to Preferences>network and tick ‘Enable LAN sync’ on each one to sync faster across the local network.

SYNC VOICE MEMOS

If you want to record voice memos that sync with your Dropbox to share with other people, then consider downloading the free IOS app, Voice Recorder For Dropbox for this purpose.

RECOVER FILES

If you have deleted files in error, go to dropbox.com in Safari and then, in the right sidebar, click ‘Show deleted files’ to view a list and recover them if needed.
