Previously, I wrote an article about six great services to share large files. But some readers requested to write about Dropbox. Yes, Dropbox is a great free service that allows you to share up to 2 GB of files over the internet by uploading at your Dropbox account. If you want greater than 2 GB space then you have to pay.
Dropbox comes with the application by which you can drag and drop any file in your local drive even you are offline. Dropbox will automatically synchronize  them whenever your computer will be connected to the internet.

2. Double click on the downloaded file and follow the onscreen instructions.
After the installation the Dropbox icon will be shown at the system tray. Double click on it to access.
