Storage space never seems enough for content creators who are constantly looking for options to share and keep their drafts, sketches, ideas, and final creations.

On this note, Dropbox is one of the best known cloud-based storage space apps. Flexible in terms of syncing accounts and accessing options from a variety of devices, Dropbox is also compatible with a multitude of file types.

Therefore, if you’re using a SketchBook Pro and you are fully enjoying the drawing experience, it’s highly recommended that you save and back-up your work.
