Evernote is organization at its best with the use of notebooks and even tags instead of endless and sometimes confusing directories which can make it hard to find certain files or documents. One feature that I find useful is the ability to attach files to your notes. While the main aspect of the service is to deal with text and photos, there are many other useful features that should be examined and used if they can help you in your business. This can be useful in case you messed something up or in case the file gets damaged in any way.Įvernote is not just for notes as the name seems to imply. Dropbox also has a great backup feature which allows you to revert a file to its previous state for a period of up to 30 days (or indefinitely with Dropbox Packrat feature). Large files for projects such as Adobe Photoshop PSD files are perfect for storing in Dropbox. But these services were designed for certain uses and it’s a lot more efficient, as well as a lot easier, if you simply use them the way they were designed.ĭropbox should be used for video, music or any necessary large files as Evernote has file restrictions that extremely limit the size of files that can be used. You could manually make Dropbox to be organized and more like Evernote and perhaps even make Evernote more like Dropbox if you so desired. As far as organization goes, Dropbox was not designed to be an intricate, organized service.

You can make a folder and share it with your friends or coworkers and anyone that “drops” files into this folder instantly shares them with everyone.

The main purpose of Dropbox is to hold files, plain and simple.
