Dropbox

In simple terms, the cloud allows you to store and access data and programs over the

internet instead of your computer's hard drive. In this sense, we can talk about Dropbox

which is a tool that allows you to synchronize files through a virtual directory or hard drive

on the network. This allows us to have a hard drive or virtual folder remotely and

accessible from any computer in the world, facilitating academic collaboration, for

example. Dropbox shows excellent performance in storing, syncing, downloading and

uploading small files. After a series of tests applied to the Dropbox hosting platform, it can

be seen that compared to other platforms, it presents more flexibility and quality services.

(Alotaibi et al .; 2019).

This large cloud storage platform is also used in various projects worldwide, for example in

the Affective Disorders Clinic of the National Institute of Psychiatry in Mexico City, they

used Adobe Acrobat Forms combined with Dropbox as a storage method and distribution

for clinical protocols (Yoldi et al .; 2018). Managing to demonstrate the advantages of

electronic systems on paper, which requires minimum knowledge of computing.

The great usefulness of the Dropbox tool encourages many researchers to study this tool in-

depth to get the most out of it. Abdullah & Resul (2017) evaluate Dropbox, to reveal how

they affect the performance of file operations, such as downloading files from cloud

storage, uploading files to cloud storage, and deleting files from cloud storage. Providing

various techniques to improve file synchronization performance and access.

Another example is the one studied in the research by Rochmah et al. (2020). Efficient

DropBox Deployment toward Improving Post-Disaster Information Exchange in a Smart

City, The purpose of this research is to study the process of implementing incoming mail

and the distribution of mail using the Dropbox application and the benefits obtained after

distributing mail using Dropbox application. The research method used is descriptive

discussion. Data collection techniques carried out through observation, interviews with

branch unit secretaries, and literature studies of books, magazines, and documents related to

the research discussion. The study results show that research and distribution of inbound

emails using Dropbox by BPJS Employment Cimahi in the digital age is currently

facilitating work processes and internal communication between employees and fostering

new goals for companies that can be used quickly.

And following this same path, in which Dropbox is used in collaboration with other tools,

we have the work of Bernik et al. (2018). Remote rendering control using Python scripts

and Dropbox technology. The process of rendering a 3D animation often takes a long time

to complete. In situations where it would take several hours or even many days, it is

inconvenient to spend that time near the rendering computer to control and monitor the

process. Through working with 3D computer graphics technologies, the authors realized

that there is no simple solution to the market that makes it easy to monitor the remote

computer running the rendering process. This article is about developing a system to allow

those tasks to be performed from a remote computer or any mobile device. The developed

proof-of-concept system consists of two Python programs that communicate through the

Dropbox service, and a computer running Autodesk Maya software.

But that possibility of accessing your files at any time, no matter where you are, reveals and

discusses security in the cloud. As witnessed in Mulyadi's post, Fredy. (2017). Security on

the Cloud Storage (Google Drive and Dropbox), in Dropbox encryption, uses 256-bit AES

keys to protect files at rest and encrypts data in motion with 128-bit AES SSL / TLS

encryption or better, which shows its high level of security.

However, like everything in life, nothing is 100% safe. Caviglione et al (2017) investigate

how personal cloud storage services can be used to build secret channels for exchanging

stealthy information over the Internet. Using Dropbox and implementing two secret

communication methods, he concludes that covert channels can indeed be used to transfer

stealthy information over the internet, and this can be used as a communication service for

next-generation malware that wants to cover up their Covert existence or filtering of host

data from attacked users. For this reason, the variety of data coupled with a large amount of

traffic due to the large user population increases the security problems that can lead to a Big

Data problem.
