Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Here's how it works:

• Drag and drop to move files around, just like you normally would
• Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account.
• Green check marks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date.

Is Dropbox secure?

Dropbox files are encrypted using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). During transit between applications and Dropbox servers, SSL/TLS is used to protect data. Two-step verification is also available as an extra layer of security when signing in. All these security measures keep your files private and secure, unless you deliberately share links to files or folders with others. Read more.
