Client Side Efect
Users install the Dropbox client on their devices (computers, smartphones, tablets).
The client creates a dedicated folder on the user's device, typically called the "Dropbox
folder."
Syncing:
Any files or folders placed within the Dropbox folder are automatically synced to the cloud.
This means that the files are uploaded to Dropbox servers and can be accessed from any
device where the user has Dropbox installed.
Cloud Storage:
Dropbox stores the user's files and data on their servers in the cloud.
The user can access their files through the Dropbox website or mobile app, providing a
convenient way to access data from different devices.
Versioning:
Dropbox keeps track of versions of files. If a file is edited or deleted, users can often retrieve
previous versions or restore deleted files within a specific timeframe.
Collaboration:
Dropbox allows users to share files and folders with others. Collaborators can have different
levels of access, such as view-only or edit permissions.
Security:
Dropbox employs security measures such as encryption (both in transit and at rest) to protect
user data.
Selective Sync:
Users can choose which folders to sync to each device, enabling them to save storage space on
devices with limited capacity.
Users can organize files into folders, create subfolders, and perform basic file management
tasks through the Dropbox interface.
It's important to note that these mechanics may evolve, and new features may be added over
time. If you need the most up-to-date and detailed information, it's recommended to check
the official Dropbox documentation or resources provided by Dropbox.
