Copyright 2013 TheUltimateDreamVA.wordpress.com
Remember that time you needed your USB Flash Drive but forgot to bring it with you?
Or that time when you misplaced your USB?
Good thing you saved your files in your laptop!
But what if your laptop suddenly crashed?!
No problem. You must have emailed the important files to yourself, right?
Noooo???
Thats scary huh!
So just imagine this
Imagine yourself having a storage device
10
That enables you to drop any file into it. Yes, in a designated folder.
11
Imagine yourself being able to access those files anytime wherever you are.
12
And I mean, 24/7whether youre at home, out with friends, or on vacation in Boracay.
13
Wouldnt that be awesome?
14
Well, thanks to the man who repeatedly forgot his USB Flash Drive while he was a student at MIT.
15
He conceived the idea of creating such a storage device!
16
Who is he?
17
Ladies and gentlemen, lets give a round of applause for the man behind Dropbox -

Mr. Andrew Houston!
