3️⃣ Synchronization & Versioning

The Dropbox service automatically synchronizes all homepage data between cloud, server, PC's, laptop, tablet and smartphones. Any of these devices can be used to edit the homepage. Every change is distributed to all other devices in the shortest possible time. Thus, in the event of a failure, many backups are available. In addition, Dropbox also stores the version history of each file, so accidental changes can be easily undone.
