New User to Drop Box and digital cloud
I have been trying to increase both efficiency and creating redundancy in my digital efforts after I lost a pivotal research paper this last spring. In that process I stumbled across the "Drop Box" option. Are there any other users of this software and cloud-like feature? If so, any ways to maximize its potential, hidden features, security issues, etc? Seems like a brilliant option thus far and just started using it.
Thoughts?

I work between my wife's laptop and my desktop all the time. This has made it much easier to work on items and files on multiple platforms.
One of the coolest features I have seen is the auto-update which doesn't require you to constantly download a newer versions. As you make changes its instantaneous across all the platforms, and users if you have a shared folder. Seems like a great way to collaborate across the internet.

Drop box is good because of the mobile apps too, but windows live will give you 7 GB for free with apps to bring those files to your phone as well.

Will look into Windows Live, thanks for the recommendation.

I've been trying to adapt to the iCloud. I have my iPhone and iPad up and running, but my laptop may be too old. I like having access to all my apps, music, pictures and audiobooks.

I use iCloud too to keep my apple devices backed up. My Mac computers are too old to use the feature too. I use Time Machine to an external hard drive and in the cloud using a service called Carbonite.
I have used drop box and it's slick. Lately I have been using the new "Google Drive" cloud tool. This is my new favorite for doc backup. They've changed their "google docs" tool/name to "google drive" and added features.
