We’re pretty big users of Dropbox around these parts. There’s something about the cross-platform service that’s exceptionally easy and fun to use. Of course, the native wWindows and OS X apps also weigh heavily in our favoritism for Dropbox. But to some, there’s another lesser known service by the name of Box.
