Dropbox                                                             

Best cloud storage

Pros

• Excellent file syncing
• Compatible with Windows, Mac OS and Linux
• Fast and easy to use

Cons

• Costlier than some competitors                                                                                          
  

  Bottom line

  Dropbox is a file synchronization service that has earned multiple Editors' Choice awards, and critics say it is one of the easiest backup services to use. Dropbox allows you to store files online and sync them across multiple computers, smartphones and tablets. While there's a lot of competition in this space (including Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive), many reviewers prefer Dropbox over other syncing services.
  

  Ease of use

  Easy to use. Reviewers say Dropbox couldn't be easier to use -- you simply sign up, download the client and drag and drop files into a folder on your device. You can then access the files on linked computers, phones or tablets. You can also store the files locally instead of in the cloud, meaning you won't need an Internet connection to access them. Uploading and downloading are fast as long as you have a reliable connection. Reviewers love the robust sharing options, which include the ability to send files to others right from the Dropbox client or create read-only public folders. Invite your friends, family and teammates to any folder or file in your Dropbox (it requires them to sign up first), and it'll be as if you saved that data straight to their devices.
  

  Features

  BlackBerry and Kindle Fire apps. Dropbox covers Windows, Mac and even Linux operating systems (a rarity among online backup services), and provides apps for iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Kindle Fire devices. Any file you save to your Dropbox will automatically update on your computers, phones and tablets. You can choose to upload only changes to your files, rather than overwriting them, which uses far less bandwidth, and there's no restriction on file sizes. Dropbox lets you edit documents, run videos or music (via your devices' players or plug-ins) and add files at the same time. You can access your files from any computer, as well as iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and Android devices. Dropbox keeps earlier versions of your files for 30 days. If a month isn't enough, Dropbox's Packrat service (Est. $4 per month or $40 per year) allows you to save an unlimited number of old versions of all your files as well as any deleted files. 
  

  Plans

  2 GB -- and possibly more -- free. Dropbox provides 2 GB of online storage for free, but is one of the pricier cloud storage services. Paid subscriptions are available for 100 GB ($10 per month) for the Pro plan, or unlimited space with the Business plan ($15 per month per user for at least five users). Members on the free plan can earn additional free storage (up to 18 GB) by referring their friends. Google Drive offers more free storage (15 GB) at lower subscription prices ($2 per month for 100 GB), but many experts say Dropbox is still a better choice because of its competitive features, seamless integration and support for Linux PCs and BlackBerry smartphones (Google Drive supports neither).Also for Direct Access to Brand Name Products&Services like this Visit our Website at http://ebuys-onlineproducts-services.weebly.com

Sony Smart Watch 2                                       

Best smartwatch for Android phones

Pros

• Customizable vibration notifications
• Screen is always "awake"
• Several hundred apps

Cons

• Heavy to wear
• Limited watch-face options                                                                                              
  

  Bottom line

  The Sony Smart Watch 2 (Est. $200) is a solid, conservatively designed smartwatch that serves as a notification device for your Android smartphone. The screen doesn't have a sleep mode, so you can at least always tell the time. You can update your Facebook page and tweet directly from the smartwatch. There are a reasonable number of apps available to download, and the respectable three- to four-day battery life means you can use them without worrying constantly about recharging your smartwatch.
  

  Compatibility

  Android phones only. Any Android device running Android 4.0 or higher is compatible with the Sony Smart Watch 2. Sony, however, emphasizes its smartwatch compatibility with its own Xperia smartphones and tablets.
  

  Design

  Conservative design. Depending on your design sensibilities, the Sony Smart Watch 2 has either a "minimalist-style" or a "relatively uninspired" design. Either way, reviewers agree that the Smart Watch  2's design plays it safe. Its square, digital watch face is surrounded by a silver aluminum band. The silicon straps come in black and four bright colors and the leather straps are available in light brown and black. If you don't like this selection of straps, you can use any industry-standard 24 mm-wide watchband. There are no buttons to mar the sleekness of the design; the touch-sensitive screen has three control buttons on it. Customization of the watch face is limited to just five pre-loaded face designs.
  

  Durability

  Solid. Reviewers report that the Sony Smart Watch 2 feels sturdy and well-made. The Smart Watch 2 is water-resistant to a depth of 3 feet for 30 minutes, so you needn't worry about taking it off in the shower. It's also dust-proof and the screen glass is scratch-resistant. The watch screen is always on and the battery lasts for three to four days. You can charge the smartwatch by plugging it in through a micro USB cord.
  

  Ease of use

  Snug fit, but heavy. Although a relatively small smartwatch, the Sony Smart Watch 2 is one of the heaviest to wear. The watchband has enough holes so that it fits snugly on every size wrist and the three touch-sensitive buttons on the watch face are easy to use. However, some people find the color touch screen itself to be sluggish or even unresponsive when swiping to turn pages. The text on the screen is small but is readable in sunlight; you don't need to activate the backlight to read the display. If you have short nails, you may have problems opening the micro USB port.
  

  Build

  Customizable buzzes. The vibration options of the Sony Smart Watch 2 are customizable: You can specify how many buzzes you want for notifications on an app-basis. The Smart Watch 2 screen is always on (doesn't go to sleep) and also serves as a regular watch with a timer, an alarm and a (dim) flashlight.
  

  Functionality

  Several hundred apps. The Smart Watch 2 is a notification device; it doesn't make or receive calls, though you can do so if you're wearing a Bluetooth headset or are hooked into an in-car phone system. You can check text messages, calendar events, Gmail messages, and Facebook and Twitter notifications. It's not just a one-way pipeline though, as you can like Facebook items and retweet in Twitter without using your phone. There are several hundred apps available for the Smart Watch 2, some designed to take advantage of its high-res display and more basic apps designed for the Smart Watch 1 model. Downloading the Smart Connect app to your phone from Google Play gives you access to all these apps.
