How to Sync Evernote and Dropbox

Dropbox users can store up to 2 gigabytes of files free.

Evernote is an application and online service that allows users to store files, ideas and tasks in one centralized location. Dropbox is an online service that allows users to store and synchronize files between multiple computers.
