That's not actually true Kyle. Microsoft was creating shared storage long before all the others came out. Windows SharePoint started in 2001. You could say that Microsoft actually pioneered the technology. Now if you want to compare apples to apples, Dropbox started in June 2007, and actually didn't launch until 2008. Microsoft's OneDrive (previously named SkyDrive) launched in August 2007. And I believe today, new users get 15gb free storage.
hes defending ios again for not allowing memory upgrades or having ports which is pretty hilarious. like that is a selling point. anyhow, dropbox works great. been using it forever. it will back up your pictures automatically. i have an ipad 2 as well. and i havent upgraded to 8 because its jailbroken. but ive used 8. dont see a big difference.
You'll probably find they don't work anymore. I discovered about 30 data zip disks a few years ago in my filing cabinet. I found every remaining zip drive in the department and none of them would work. I ended up sending the disks to a service to recover the data. Right now I have hundreds and hundreds of backup CD's from long ago and already CD drives are beginning to disappear from computers. I need to get a student to start transferring all of those to hard drives while it's easy. This happens every so often. The biggest media data loss was when we switched from giant reels of tape and "disk packs" on the old mainframe to PC hard drives in the 80's. I've been through 8" floppy, 5" floppy, 3"floppies, Bernouli disks, JAZ, ZIP, you name it.
The drives may be incompatible with your latest up to date computers. They would probably still work if you dig up an old computer to use them on.
