Dropbox

Overview 

Dropbox is a cloud-based file storage and file-sharing service that allows individuals and businesses to store access and collaborate on digital files from any device.  It was launched in 2008 and was one of the first cloud storage platforms to gain widespread popularity.  It provides a centralized space for storing files securely and sharing them with others and can sync them across multiple devices.

Social Impact 

Dropbox has modernized the way in which people store any amount of information from small to large. Since Dropbox is cloud-based, people are no longer required to purchase expensive hard drives over and over again as its storage is limited. Personal information can be accessed anywhere through a simple log in and can be shared with any device. This makes it easy for on-the-go and group documentation. 

Theoretical Foundation

Dropbox can be an example of enlarging existing modes of organizing and coordination. This can be seen through Dropbox's features of being able to have all your content in one place instead of switching through different apps. Also making it easier to share and collaborate with others while being able to access these files from anywhere at any time. In conclusion, Dropbox is an example of creating a more sustainable and organized workspace.
