`Evidence
`
`The cloud: Dropbox is a "cloud" service. This means that your files are stored on our
`secure servers rather than on your computer, phone, or tablet. A server is just another
`kind of computer, which you access with an internet connection.
`
`https://help.dropbox.com/new-to-Dropbox/getting-started-building-blocks
`
`Install the desktop app
`
`The Dropbox desktop application lets you access all your most
`important files any time from your computer, even ones that were
`originally created on another device.
`
`Installing our application on your computer creates a special folder, the Dropbox folder.
`
`This folder has unique properties: it automatically updates your files so they're the same
`
`across all your devices with Dropbox installed. No more USB drives, emailing work to
`
`yourself, or manually uploading and downloading files - it just works.
`
`Use the Dropbox folder like you would any other folder on your computer. Anything you
`
`save into the folder will be available on your other devices and backed up on our
`
`website.
