Top Free Useful Online Tools

We all love to find something for free that we can actually use, but wading through the bumf to find online tools that are actually worth using can take time that not everyone has to spare. No worries, though, we’ve done the hard work for you! For a run down of the Internet’s top FREE online tools, just keep on reading.

Search Engine

Perhaps one of the more obvious choices, but search engines such as Google and Bing are free online tools that have established themselves as a part of our everyday lives. Whether you need advice and information on a serious concern, or you’re looking up which actor is in the TV show you’re watching, there’s no denying the value of these online tools – and the fact they’re free is even better.

Social Media

In the grand scheme of the Internet, Social Media is a relatively new creation, but it’s certainly a valuable tool. Whether you use your Social Media profile for personal use, for marketing purposes or because you want to build an audience, out of the free online tools, Social Media is perhaps the most universally beneficial.

Some of the applications of Social Media are:

• connecting with family and friends
• connecting with businesses and business owners
• marketing and networking
• advertising
• building an audience for personal, business or charitable reasons
• general personal use

Dropbox

Moving into the realms of file sharing and cloud storage, we have Dropbox. This might be a little bit of a cheat, since Dropbox do offer the opportunity for paid space upgrades, however the service is essentially free, and it is possible to receive free space upgrades.

Dropbox is essentially a cloud storage service, with folders for local storage on your devices. How Dropbox works is you set up your account on the main website, and then download the application onto your device which takes the form of a folder. You can drag and drop items into these folders, and they’ll sync to the main account and across your other devices.

Dropbox offer a number of ways to increase your storage with them, including downloading the application on your computer and mobile devices, as well as inviting friends to sign up to the service. Dropbox have proven themselves to be an invaluable free online tool, used by individuals and businesses alike. In general, people are opting to use Dropbox over a USB device wherever an Internet connection is available to do so.
