Part 2: Dropbox: the new sync on the block

Speaker: Kilian Muster

Imagine you had a magic pocket in your trousers, and if you put things there they would be safe. Imagine you had such a pocket in each of your trousers and anything you put into either pocket would automagically appear in all other pockets as well.

Dropbox is the magic pocket for your Mac. And iPhone. And Linux machine. And if you really, really can’t help it even for your Windows machine (but don’t tell anyone).
