Storing data on our computers and phones is an increasingly complicated task. The volume of files we handle is increasing gradually and the amounts to be treated are more and more bulky. This, in turn, causes you to look for alternatives to be able to save all possible information without giving up on it, and the cloud, or rather the internet, is providing the perfect solution to achieve it.
We have proof of this with Dropbox . This platform has been offering cloud storage for for free and for a fee since 2007 , growing little by little until it became one of the largest references in the field. Currently, it offers free multi-gigabyte accommodation for any user, offering extensions if other users are invited to use their services or paying for the different premium plans available to those interested.
It is a very interesting proposal, but it has the always present counterpart of not being able to please everyone. Many users end up giving up their profile on this system because they have several accounts, because they find other alternatives that are more interesting to them or because they prefer to use memory cards and hard drives to store backup copies. There are many reasons, but solutions to the question of how to delete a Dropbox account no, and here we give them.
