| Edison's Electric Pen. Fun facts here and here. |
Dropbox: I think DropBox has been a "go to" for a while now; you can save any file format, share it easily with all your other devices no matter the operating system, and your files are available on your devices even when you're offline. It's simple and intuitive, plus 2GB storage = Free.
SpiderOak: While similar to Dropbox, the most notable difference is that it has "Zero Knowledge Privacy." All files and their meta-data are encrypted with your password before it is even saved. The password you use is never stored on their servers, thereby making it impossible for SpiderOak or anyone else to decrypt your information. To quote the website, "To us, your files are simply containers of encrypted data."
Box: Super easy to use, great for sharing, but not as inter-operable as Dropbox, and the prices are not competitive for the amount of storage you get when compared to Dropbox or SpiderOak. However, for a personal account, you can get 10 GB of free storage. Not too shabby!
Microsoft OneDrive: If you do everything from managing your calendar, email, report, and records using the Microsoft Office suite, OneDrive if for nothing else but sheer convenience. It also offers more 5GB of free storage while Dropbox offers only 2GB, and SpiderOak only offering free trials
Clearly, I am glossing over a lot of information and doing some serious name-brand-dropping. Hopefully though, this opens you up to some resources and options to help you discover what will work best for your current needs, and perhaps the future ones too.
Be Aware: While the apps discussed in this series are helpful tools, they are in no way meant to replace official law sources. Please, rely on your McKusick Law Library or certified government websites for reference.
