Dropbox is a PC builder’s best friend

In 2018 I bet my reputation and self-worth on a huge crowdfunded game design project. It could have been a failure for many reasons, but the one I became most worried about was losing all of the work that was stored locally on my home-built PC — a scenario that would have left a lot of people very upset and placed me in deep trouble. I wasn’t irresponsible, I had local backups, but at some point I found myself in custody of so many important files that it scared me. And no matter how many redundancies I could build at home, they’d all still be in the same place — a risky bet. So I bought a subscription to Dropbox. Years later, it’s still one of the best software subscriptions that I happily renew each year.
