Quickly sync files on your computers with Dropbox


{Tech Review} I found an awesome FREE solution to moving files in between my laptop and desktop! Dropbox is a great way to sync up the files you want to while also providing a way to back up your most important documents.

You have a dropbox folder on both computers and once you move a file in one, it automatically shows up in the other! This works great for me when I create invoices on my laptop but my printer is connected to my desktop for example. It’s quicker than flash drives and updates your files if you make changes. You also have 30 days worth of undo history just in case you accidently delete a file. The free plan offers up to 2GB while pay plans offer up to 100GB of storage.

I’ve been waiting for new and improved features to Gmail for awhile now. I use Gmail as my main email hub and pour about 5 different email accounts into it so I only have one program to login to. It’s easy, it’s fast and it’s a huge time saver! So what’s next for the mega email client?

Priority Inboxes
Priority Inboxes. It’s a simple way to break out of the mountain of email you get everyday and take care of the most important email first and then shove all the rest aside for a more appropriate time. No more wading through tons and tons of emails or working from the time sent up.

Tackle the email you need to get to now and put a hold on the ones you have a bit more time to think about. Gmail automatically determines what’s a priority over other email based on your reading and replying methods. If Gmail messes up, you can label your own emails according to your rating system using handy plus and minus buttons. Pretty slick.

Catchy Promo
Google has released the above video to advertise the new feature. I have to say that I love companies that launchcreative videos to share their products with the world. Who knew filtering inboxes could be so fun?

Look for this new feature in a Gmail inbox near you in the coming week.
