Once connected, the other users with access
to the shared files can then make notes and
comment on the documents that are currently
present. You can highlight select areas of text to comment or
you can create a document-wide comment, using the ‘@’ symbol
to mention individuals by name.


    STEP    

The shared user will receive an email in their
inbox, detailing the name of the shared files or
folders. All they will need to do is click on the Go
To Folder, or View button to have their browser redirect them to
the newly created share.


    STEP    

If you find yourself running low on space, head
over to www.dropbox.com/getspace. This page
will detail the amount of storage space you have
and how you can earn more. Earning extra space doesn’t always
mean signing up and paying for the business account. There
are some bonuses you can earn.


    STEP    

The Dropbox desktop app works   in  much    the
same way as Google Drive and Microsoft’s
OneDrive. It creates a folder on your system,
putting the shortcut in Windows Explorer, adding an icon in the
taskbar and even a right-click context menu.

    STEP    

By  completing  seven   simple  steps,  you’re
able to earn an extra 250MB of space. Follow
Dropbox on Twitter and give the company some
feedback and you can earn another 250MB. Finally, refer a
friend to Dropbox and for each new member signed up thanks
to you, Dropbox gives you 500MB.

    STEP    

The Dropbox icon    in  the taskbar is  able    to
display any notifications, the files within your
area or shared folders and it can take you
directly to the local Dropbox folder or the web-based portal.
You can even upgrade and create links to individual files from
within it.
