Best Back Up For All Types of Documents From Pictures To Important Files

By snugz030914 (Pcmac user)

I have been using this app for a while now sometimes I don’t even realize the pictures or files that I need are right there at the tips of my fingertips just by logging into this app from anywhere and it has been a lifesaver more than once in terms of looking for something I needed and I find it! Also many moments and memories via pictures; I thought I had lost forever, but realize are stored right there safe and sound in my this app! The safety and security are on point and overall...thus far this app is Awesome! It also alerts you for each and every sign in attempt on any device and periodically prompts user to verify and conduct security checks for device sign in and activity review ensuring that everything is done by you the user and also that only you have access to ALL YOUR Information. Top it all off, it’s absolutely FREE! No fees, as of yet, but even if they were to charge for this service it would be well worth the monetary cost, for the peace of mind it provides! THANKS this app!!! Keep it Up! Much Appreciated especially by users who may not be as tech savvy as the newer generation of users! THANK YOU!!!
Just as well, a stunning feat of a software company

Picture this: by my office desk lies a Windows 7 computer, antiquated by today's standards, and nevertheless I can use the the app chrome browser, and with my Gmail account I begin writing a document, obviously adding data culled from other web sites. I rise from my desk chair, and begin the daily commute home. In the bus, using my Bluetooth wireless headset and my smartphone, I listen to some music from the app Play, while opening said document, which I previously saved to this app, and continue my work, not wasting precious time. When I get home, after unplugging myself from the headset, I am greeted by my loved ones. After some quality time, I decide to lie in bed. I reach for my tablet, stored in the drawer of the bedside table. Once again, this app fulfills its promise, and effortlessly I open the document, proof reading it to correct and polish it. When I want, I can leave it so tomorrow I begin the process again. Simple and convenient are the qualities that come to my mind when I think of this app.
Almost GREAT

I love this app!!! It is a very valuable tool. I use it hourly during the work week. I am able to jot down an idea on my phone, turn it in to a project at home, present it at work, assign it to my students, have them finish it on their computers and grade it all through this app (and the app Classroom). It is impossible for me to forget my thumb drive, cd, or any other archaic storage device, because this app is always there from any of the devices (my phones, iPads, Chrome Books, and generic school desktop computer, or another business computer). I rarely have trouble with formatting issues from one computer to another system and if I do, it’s minor. Where this app fails a five star, in my opinion, is organization... especially when sharing files. I have files shared with me that I have no idea what is in them and if I tried to organize all of it, someone else could unorganize it. I rely on the search bar MOST of the time. But, that means I have to remember what I labeled something three years ago! Then, I will likely find something else equally good from a shared file I didn’t know existed that could have been used LAST week.
Honestly the best!

Okay, I’ll have to admit it...THIS APP IS THE BEST! I’m in an acting show where the vocals and songs were used on this app and it plays really well! It never pauses randomly like other apps. We originally had to use Facebook manually to navigate our way to the vocals, but with this app I have to do 3 steps. 1. Open the app. 2. Click what file. 3. Click the song I wanna practice. I had to do 5 steps originally. 1. Go to Facebook. 2. Go to the secret group. 3. Find the tracks. 4– you should know the rest. If I would have to delete this app, I would rage and BREAK every device I own. Summary: This app is really helpful for saving documents unlike the app Docs where you actually have to wait a while for it to save and if you don’t, you have to type it all again. This app also loves you saving files, vocals, songs-ANYTHING. There might be problems with songs not loading, but I guess that depends on you’re internet strength. I hope you rate this a 5 star like I did!
