A Brief Introduction to Dropbox and Wasabi

Dropbox is a file hosting service and is compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux systems. Therefore, users can use it to synchronize files between computers and other mobile devices to easily access or obtain files, photos and videos anywhere, and even share them with others. Plus, if uploading is turned on, you can always access the latest version of each file.

Wasabi, also called Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, is a relatively secure and affordable data storage system. Wasabi makes it easy to store and retrieve any amount of data anywhere, anytime, whether you need to store a copy of data on a cloud drive, offsite disaster recovery, active and accessible data archiving, or long-term storage, Wasabi's breakthrough price/performance ratio makes the choice easy.

  • If you don't know how to get the access key ID and secret access key, go to your Wasabi and go to Access Keys > CREATE NEW ACCESS KEY > Root User > CREATE. Next, you need to copy the keys and add them to the appropriate locations.
