How to use Dropbox

  Dropbox is  a file hosting service operated by Dropbox Inc.. It allows users to create a special folder on each of their computers, which Dropbox then synchronizes so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same contents) regardless of which computer is used to view it. Files placed in this folder also are accessible through a website and mobile phone applications.It initially provides 2-3GB of file storage but same like mediafire it also enables users to share this on social media websites, in return they give you 125MB per share and if you share it with your friends then they give you storage space of  500MB per friend.
