While many people already use Dropbox (a file hosting service), few people make full use of the many features it offers. Whether you are already a user or are considering signing up for a free standard account, here are some helpful Dropbox tips to consider:

• You can get more space for free on Dropbox. While their free standard account includes 2GB of free space, you can increase your free space by referring friends, taking a tour of the basics, following Dropbox on Twitter, offering feedback, and more. For details, log into your Dropbox account and visit: https://www.dropbox.com/getspace.


• Also, keep an eye out for occasional contest or coupons to score big storage, as much as 50GB extra.

• Use Dropbox to archive and manage your photos. You can create album folders with sub-folders for organization and easily share them with friends or grab a public link to post on the web.
  You can create and publish static websites easily as well as publish from Dropbox with Pancake.io (https://www.pancake.io/).


• If you are a Chrome user, download the extension called EasyDrop, which puts a drop-down menu a click away that provides fast access to files.


• You can link mail to avoid attachments in Yahoo Mail, Gmail, and Outlook. To do so, you'll first need to link the accounts:
  
  In Yahoo, compose a new message, then click the attachments icon, and pick "Share from Dropbox.” You'll also get a Save to Dropbox option when attachments arrive in new messages.
  
  For Gmail, using the Google Chrome browser, install the Dropbox for Gmail add-on. Then you can send and preview files from your Dropbox in Gmail messages, without leaving the Gmail interface.
  
  In Outlook, click the Dropbox icon to access your Dropbox account. Select the files or folders you’d like to include. Click Choose and a shared link is generated for each file or folder you select.

• You can use Dropbox as a digital suitcase and access files from any device. You can install Mobile Dropbox to get to all your files from your iOS, Android, or Windows phone.
