Dropbox lets you access, share and back up your work, no matter what device you are using. No more lost USB sticks and no more working on the wrong version of a file. Dropbox is really useful for backing up all your files and sharing large files, such as music or video.

Google Drive helps you to store all your files and access them from any device. Drive also gives you instant access to Google Docs, a suite of office applications, so you can work and collaborate in the cloud. Google Drive is probably better than Dropbox for working on documents with your friends and storing your university work.

Evernote makes it easier to manage your digital life - you can keep notes, clip useful webpages and manage images and ideas in one place. When you take notes at university, you can write text, tag it, record audio or video of the event and add photos to your notes as you go.
