Some of you might start thinking after reading the tittle of this post that what is the need of having an additional software to uninstall programs when we already have this feature inbuilt in Windows.To answer this query I would like to point out that when you uninstall any software using inbuilt installer it leaves a lot of fragments like folders or registry files that are no longer needed.The junk keeps on collecting and the performance starts degrading.To tackle such a scenario we opt for registry and system cleaners.

So, why not at the very first place install a software that will leave automatically clean all these traces while uninstalling the programs.If your system has a lot of clutter then I would suggest that you must clean it with Uniblue Registry cleaner to get back the lost performance.

It automatically lists all the applications which can be uninstalled.It is also bundled with some other useful features like it can clean temporary files from your PC and has a user friendly interface for editing registry, Group policies etc.There is also an innovative feature called Hunter Mode.In hunter mode you have to Drag and drop a bull’s eye on an application to uninstall it.

Security

In Dropbox, there is no internal security of your data i.e the data shared in dropbox is visible to everyone who is using dropbox. Users cannot share their files and folders to specific people and there is no such feature to set password on files to restrict from unauthorized access. It uses SSL AES-256 bit encryption algorithm to share data.
Google Drive allows users to share files and folders publically or with specific people and it also gives liberty to its end users to share password protected files. There is no such encryption algorithm for sharing of your data.
