Dropbox Infinite by-passes need for hard drive space

Cloud storage giant Dropbox has announced a new initiative which makes it easy to access files stored in the cloud, regardless of available hard-drive space.
The new Dropbox Infinite platform enables customers to access files via a placeholder within the Windows Explorer or Mac OS X’s Finder.
Those users will be able to open and edit and of those files without taking up any space on their hard drive.
The initiative is a break from the norm where files are saved on both the desktop and in the cloud with copies automatically synced when changes are made.
Infinite will be of great use to those without the hard-drive space to keep the documents they want to access from the cloud.
It is geared towards businesses that may wish to give access to terabytes of data, which employees are unable to store upon their local hard-drives
Items that are already synced locally will still by identified by a green tick whereas those only saved within Dropbox will feature a cloud icon.
