Want to understand Dropbox? Read this guide ...

This week, I completed an unofficial guide for Dropbox and published it in several places. Titled Dropbox In 30 Minutes, it not only answers the question of "What Is Dropbox?" but also contains step-by-step instructions on how to get the most out of the online storage tool. Specific chapters and subsections include:

• Chapter 1: In The Beginning — Installing Dropbox
• 1A. Dropbox requirements: It works practically anywhere!
• 1B. Installing Dropbox
• 1C. The Dropbox website
• Chapter 2: Getting Down To Business — Files And Folders
• 2A. How it works
• 2B. Saving your first file
• 2C. Working with folders/groups of files
• 2D. Opening a file or folder from a second computer
• Chapter 3: Going Mobile — Dropbox On Smartphones And Tablets
• 3A. Downloading files
• 3B. Uploading files
• Chapter 4: Dropbox Linking And Sharing
• 4A. Limited sharing via links
• 4B. Sharing folders with other Dropbox users
• Chapter 5: Dropbox — The Rogue FAQ
• How can I get free space?
• How secure is Dropbox?
• What happens when I quit Dropbox from the System Tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac)?
• How do I delete Dropbox?
• Help! I accidentally deleted an important file!
• Dropbox seems to be taking a long time to sync. What gives?
• I see a folder called “Public” in my Dropbox account. What’s that about?
• What happens when the same file is opened simultaneously on more than one computer?
• Are the paid Dropbox accounts worth it?
• Why would I want to link my Facebook account to Dropbox?
• What are third-party apps, and how do they relate to Dropbox?

The story behind "Dropbox: The Rogue FAQ" is I wanted to answer some questions that official FAQs would never address. In addition, I have used a conversational/humorous tone throughout the ebook, which I hope readers will appreciate.
