Dropbox has become one of those quintessential tools among tech enthusiasts in the past few years. It’s a free and paid service that allows you to keep your files in the cloud and among all your devices. If you haven’t yet, take a look and sign up for 2 GBs of free space.

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes to make this all work and that is what makes Dropbox more successful than other competitors.

If ever you wonder how you’re going to get through the day or how frustrating that life is for you, it helps to remember that we are all but a tiny dot in a universe full of activity. Not only are we tiny, we are but a mere flash – a blink of an eye in the history of of all histories. What all of humanity does is unlikely to have any relevance in this universe. So don’t fret and just enjoy the time you have.
