The book I read to research this post was Dropbox For Beginners by Lisa Thompson which is an excellent book which I bought from kindle. Dropbox was the first website to be a cloud service provider. It does this in 2 ways one is it provides Dropbox desktop software that synchronizes your computer with any devices like tablets and the other is it provides online storage which will work with your computer and any devices. You can back up a wordpress website to this site via the plug in that is available. You can also back up your computer hard drive but the free service is only 16 GB so is probably not enough. Above that amount it is a pay as you go service. They do encourage you to use this cloud service with twitter, facebook & linkedin and give you an extra 125 MB free for each of these you connect to this website. Also there are various options for what security like passwords you have protecting your storage space. I think this service is ideal for storing things like mp3s, video and ebooks. You can set it to upload stuff by default via the desktop program to your cloud space. They have well over 100 million users worldwide. The website for dropbox is http://www.dropbox.com. This is an informative book although it is maybe a little short.
