Store and share files. Sign and send documents. All with Dropbox.
By just sharing a link, you can send anything—from photos and videos to zipped folders and large CAD files—to anyone, even if they don’t have a Dropbox account.
Easily share links and files from anywhere, using your phone, tablet or computer. And unlike email attachments, you don’t have to worry about file size limits—share files as large as your cloud storage space quota, starting at 2 GB and up.
No more manual checking—find out exactly when someone has made changes to a file you’ve shared.
With Dropbox, you can see who’s added, edited, deleted, renamed, or moved a file. Any changes made to a shared file will be automatically updated and synced for all recipients.
Dropbox cloud storage is a great place to help teams get organized and add files to one central location. It’s easy for team members to see where everything is, and which files are the most recent—and in need of immediate attention.
When the right files are already in Dropbox, supported AI integrations can use that shared context to summarize a project, surface key decisions, or prepare a handoff. That means your team can spend less time repeatedly finding, uploading, and explaining the same material.
Connecting your files to the tools you already use makes AI knowledge sharing easier across the team. Save useful AI-assisted work back to Dropbox for review and reuse, creating an AI-ready sharing platform where source files, permissions, and collaborators stay connected.
File sharing is the public or private sharing of digital information or resources. Common ways to share files include the web, removable USB drives, FTP servers or peer-to-peer networks. The most convenient method used today is online or cloud file sharing or file transfer, a way to grant access to files and content from one user to another over the internet. Dropbox can be used as a cloud file sharing system and an online backup storage service.
Sign in to dropbox.com, select Upload, then choose File or Folder and add the content you need. You can also drag and drop files into the Dropbox desktop folder or upload them from the mobile app, and they’ll sync across your connected devices.
It’s simple to send or share files from Dropbox with anyone you want—and they don’t even need a Dropbox account. Create a shared link from your Dropbox desktop or mobile app for iOS or Android and share that link via chat, text, or email. Anyone with the shared link can view and download the file.
Sharing a Dropbox folder with anyone you want is easy. Create a shared link to the folder you want to share and then send the shared link via email, chat, or text to whomever you like. Anyone with the link can view and download the content of the folder you’ve shared.
You can share files and folders with anyone you like, including people without Dropbox accounts. Simply send them a shared link to the file or folder via email, chat, or text.
To share a link to a file or folder in your Dropbox account, simply hover over the file or folder you’d like to share and click the share icon (a rectangle with an up arrow). From here, you can select the access permissions you’d like recipients to have, create a link to your file or folder, and copy it for sharing.
If you just want to send files you don’t need to collaborate on, you can use Dropbox Transfer. You can drag and drop or upload files you want to transfer, then send via email or shared link.
Dropbox Transfer is great for all types of files, especially large video files that are too big to send over email.
At Dropbox, security is our highest priority. Your files and folders are protected at rest with file encryption and in transit with SSL/TLS protection. Advanced and Enterprise plans get full end-to-end encryption. You can also add passwords and expiration dates for extra secure file sharing.
