Reasons to Love Dropbox

Dropbox Your Photos and FIles

Click the box, in ya go little files and fat photos.  Simple as that.  I am in the process of deleting old files on Dropbox.  Mostly because  I'd like more room.

Yes, I could purchase more space quiet easily.  I'm not quite ready for that yet.  Plus, they make it simple to share it with you.  Why wouldn't I try that first?  Helps them, helps me and you get to try a wonderful product. 

Now of course there is going to be two sides of the story.  Thanks to these great articles below there is more than enough food for thought.

For me, a couple more reasons on either side is good enough for me to give it a try.  We've learned a lot of wonderful things from saving so much of our stuff there. 

See what I mean?  That is so cool, integrating with Shutterstock.  Which reminds me, I have photos over there too.  So, this will be really nice having them together.  Time to go check them out, update my stuff and get onto more of these simple ways to keep track of all this blogger stuff.

Next step is to look into the creation part of the mass photos we have stored there.  Among all the other data we couldn't live without at the time.  Like anywhere else, it is a good idea to go spend some time on such sites to purge out what we really don't need in that part of our (house) any longer.
Labeling photos and documents, filing them in their proper spots.  A job we have never loved much, no matter how much easier it is to do here.  Thank you that it is.

So many options to help us out with online organization of our prized possessions.  I am no expert in cleaning up or throwing things away.  There comes a time though when it has to be done so I can think straight.  Of course, once I do then some of the ideas float back into the now cleared space.  Letting go of the book I thought would be completed now, the page, the drawing, the photo.

Whatever means I can make to store them away some place.  Start a new list on that next idea.   Which will be better?  What was sitting to dust and rotting away in a box, or written onto this computer and stored in a virtual reality place like this Dropbox?

  With a new year of recycling, reusing and repurposing on our minds it's time to go visit my files at dropbox and make some more space to file away another year of dreams.  Even here, we have to spend some time cleaning up things, throwing them in the trash, or finding ways to finish, complete, come to an end.  Something I've never been good at.  Something I am starting to believe will never be part of my character traits.  A false belief that truly does need to be the first thing to let go of.

Accepting that about myself, that I am not a finisher, I am a starter.  Yes, I can finish the dishes.  Yes, I can finish dinner.  Yes, I can finish the wash.  You already know the true answer.  Until the next time when it needs to be started and finished all over again.  I am starting to look at all of this words to the papers on these pages like that.  Just finish them.  End them, publish them.  Go back and edit them, put them away for another day.  Once a year, no matter what spend some time at Dropbox. Go there, clean it up.  It felt really good to know a clearing has been made to store and build and clean again.
