Toodledo
An all in all productivity tool for students.
Toodledo has to do lists, allows you to write long notes, make custom lists, draft structured outlines, track habits and more.
You can create grocery lists, reading lists, packing lists, bucket lists and share them with friends and family.
You have the ability to add tasks with sub-tasks. Toodledo will alert you when tasks are due.
I especially like the outline feature. This is good for creating reports. You can add tasks and sub-tasks.
This makes outlining and organizing projects very easy.
You can check the hotlist section for tasks that are nearing due dates and with higher priority.
You can outline projects, assign tasks to team members. Files can be attached to tasks (up to 50 GB).
Time can be tracked and for students, they can track how much time was spent on a particular project
The scheduler feature in Toodledo will help you utilize your free time effectively.
You fill in how much time you have and it will fill in high priority tasks for you to work on.
You can create location-based tasks, as well as recurring tasks.

Dropbox
Dropbox is a file hosting service that allows you to store, manage and share files securely.
It allows you to upload large files to share quickly. Viewers can access the file instantly even without accounts, and work can be synced with group members.
The free account allows for storage of 2GB, each uploaded file can be up to 50MB.
The app syncs across all devices automatically and can be accessed through mobile apps, desktop apps or the website www.dropbox.com. There is no need to worry about redundant copies as the app auto-syncs the files as you use them.
It also allows you to work offline, updating data as soon as the internet connection is restored.
Users can separate personal and work profiles within apps for better management of files
The app also integrates well with other systems and has partnered with several popular companies such as Canva, Slack, Shift, Zoom and Widen, making it efficient to use in the workflow.
