Best Alternatives To DropBox

By
What is Dropbox?
Dropbox is a cloud storage service that allows you to store your files on the cloud. With Dropbox, now you can access all kinds of files on any device. Dropbox was founded in 2007 in San Francisco, California, the United States by Drew Houston, at the age of 24, and Arash Ferdowsi at the age of 22.



It was originally started by Drew Houston, who later convinced an Arash Ferdowsi, a college student to quit his school and join him. These two have made billions with Dropbox since collaboration.
Dropbox makes it easy for teams and individuals to access and share files among themselves.
Although Dropbox is a premium service, however, it is free to try for 30 days. They also offer you 2GB free storage which is free forever.
To add to that, they offer you opportunities to get more space with their referral program.
With their basic account, you get 500 MB per friend you refer, and you can get up to 16 GB. With their plus and professional account, you can get 1 GB per referral and you can get up to 32 GB.
Dropbox currently has over 500 million users. Dropbox, today, is still one of the most popularly used cloud storage services in the world. However, a couple of years ago, they had about 50,000,000 accounts hacked.
If for some reasons you do not like to use Dropbox or you are looking for other alternatives to Dropbox, then here are some of the best alternatives to Dropbox.
Google Drive
Google Drive is a great alternative to Dropbox. They offer you 15 GB free storage for free once you create a google account. If you already have one, then you are good to go. If you have a WordPress, website, Google Drive integrates with your website through a plugin called “Google Photos Embed”. I personally use this to put images on my website. This is very beneficial if you are on shared hosting and worried about your resource limit.


You can simply store your images on google drive through google photos, copy the share link, and paste on your WordPress blog post. This way you don’t have to worry about resource limit.
Google Drive is a product of Google. The number one most popular website in the world.
Box
Box is another great cloud storage service like Dropbox that intrigues me. I came across this service recently, and I personally want to promote it. With box, your team can access files, edit and share them among themselves. It doesn’t matter what type of file it is. Videos, animated gifs, etc. Box makes work very much easier for all.


Box has Individual Plans, Business Plans, and Platform Plans
Under the Individual Plans, they have an Individual Plan, and Personal Pro Plan.
The individual plan is free and allows you storage of 10 GB and 250 MB upload limit.
The personal pro plan costs you $11.50 per month and allows you 100 GB with 5 GB upload limit.
Under the Business Plans, They have the Starter Plan, Business Plan, Business Plus Plan, and Enterprise Plan.
For Starter Plan, Box charges you $5.80 per month.
For Business Plan which is the most popular, Box charges you $17.30 per month.
For Business Plus Plan, Box charges you $28.70 per month, and
For Enterprise Plan, you will have to contact them specifically for this.
Under the Platform Plans, they have the Free Trial and Enterprise Plans.
Here is why I am intrigued about Box. Box gives you a whopping $100 to invite any of your friends to sign up for the free trial plan. Yes, you read it right. Free sign up from your friend, and you get $100 for it. 


Awesome! isn’t it?
The box is a very popular cloud storage and team collaboration service with a global Alexa ranking of 364 and 134 in the US.
MediaFire
Oh yes! You should have come across this one if you download files online often. I have been downloading files from this service most times for a couple of years now. Never knew that one day, I will be reviewing it.


MediaFire is a free popular cloud storage service that offers you 10 GB storage for free. More than 850 million people use MediaFire to store share and receive files with their friend's colleagues, clients, etc.
MediaFire allows you to upload up to 4 GB per file, and allows you to upload multiple files at one time. It also allows you safety. You can use a one-time link on your files and your friend or client who downloads the file will not be able to share it elsewhere, even if he wants to.
This is very advantageous for personal documents you don’t want any other person to access. MediaFire offers many more great advantages for using the platform.
These are some of the best alternatives to Dropbox out there. I hope you find something suitable for you.

How to get 100+ Votes on Inbound

By
This is not a complex, statistical study but a basis to understand the types of content that work on Inbound. We’ve analyzed everything with 100 or more votes at Inbound.org to get an idea of the topics that get the most attention and upvotes. Content that works at Inbound.org will most likely click with your target audience as well. This analysis will be of great help for anybody looking for topics to woo the B2B audience. Existing work on the topic? We’ve tried searching for posts on similar topics but I found just a couple. This one barely scratches the surface. It makes some valid points like the length or the person submitting the posts matters but most of these findings are not practical or makes much sense. For example, the posts submitted in the month of January will do well or title length is everything. There’s another analysis but with similar results though it mentions that AMA and Google related topics get the most views. We are more interested in the real thing i.e. ...

I’m going to show you how you can drive targeted traffic to your site using forum marketing.
