Dropbox
If you frequently collaborate with coworkers or friends on projects, Dropbox is a godsend if not a lifeline. Send and access files of all sizes with a partner or team. iPhone users can even send and receive files via iMessage.
Evernote
Many organizing experts and productivity whizzes encourage clients to write things down rather than type them. It increases the likelihood we’ll remember them. Evernote organizes and stores photos of your handwritten notes and to-do lists. And you don’t even have to sacrifice the ability to “search” through what you write that you have with digital notes and word processors. Evernote has a feature that searches through your handwritten notes even though they haven’t been typed into your phone. Intelligent features like this make Evernote one of the highest-rated organization and productivity apps.
