“how it works does this product use a separate service such as Dropbox for storage (as does MyPassport)? I want storage to be local.”

• You can do either. They have a cloud feature available. Just select the drive to keep it local.

• This is an actual hard-drive, so no it does not use Dropbox for storage, it IS LOCAL storage.

• This product is compatible with such services, but does not use one without setting it up. This is just an external drive that runs locally via a USB 3.0 connection. Since you want local storage, this would fit the bill nicely.

• It shouldn't unless you format it that way. With Windows, You just plug it in and can save things to it right away, as an additional drive. I think for Mac (or for both) you have to format it a little differently, but it should work similarly as any drive. Dropbox is software. I'm sure you can use Dropbox to save on there, but it is definitely not a requirement (at least with Windows).

• It uses the drive, itself. There is the ability to utilize cloud services, too, using their backup software, but they're optional.
