Goggle Drive Works Really Great For Sharing Chief Files

[fcwilt]

...if i want to edit a file, I must go to my drop box folder.

That is correct but as I said the DropBox folder is a normal Windows folder and all the files therein are normal Windows files.

If you terminate the DropBox application you will see that the folder and files are still there and accessible. BUT they are no longer being monitored for changes and uploaded to the DropBox servers(s).

So you generally want to have the DropBox application running at all times.
