The users' files are stored in Dropbox, using the Dropbox API. They are accessible anywhere Dropbox is. You can share files with other users, or publicly.

User has access to all their data, no need to export.

Their outlines are available everywhere, instantly.

Their work can be published using Dropbox as the back-end, and Fargo as the CMS.

Quote:

Please provide an approved quote we can use about the product integration. This may be featured in a blog post or press release.

Dropbox is a deeply transformative and open networked storage environment. Because Fargo is built around Dropbox, users don't have to export their data. It's all sitting in a folder on their desktop (and tablet, smartphone, desktop, server, you name it).

Other developers have to worry about synchronization. We don't. That's all taken care of by Dropbox from Day One.

We used to say the network is the computer, but we're seeing more and more that Dropbox is the computer. Once some data is available in my Dropbox, the question of which computer does what is entirely fungible.

How much do you love Dropbox?

Totally and unconditionally!
