[nabs-l] drop box

[Lillie Pennington]

I agree that dropbox is extremely beneficial. For the last couple of years, I have been using it with my teachers to send and receive assignments. It was also helpful to me on a personal level, because of the amount of files I had stored there when my computer crashed. This made it so that I did not lose so much, because it was already stored in the cloud.
