You may be wondering why we use Dropbox if we spend so much time inside of Google Drive. Great question! Let's just say we might be a *tad* obsessive with backing up everything we create in multiple places (videos, podcasts, meetings, etc). We use Dropbox as our full library of goodness that holds literally everything.
