Meet Aniela, the IT Manager

As an IT manager, Angela juggles many responsibilities for her company. Her day-to-day involves planning, managing, and coordinating projects for the business and her team. On top of that, Aniela must keep management updated on the status of the company’s IT efforts. With Dropbox, Aniela can spend less time tracking down schedules, budget reports, timesheets, and other important documents required to do her job. She can access them all from one convenient location instead.
