Dropbox!

MY DROPBOX REFERRAL LINK
If you didn’t know, Dropbox is a great tool for Windows, Mac, & Linux that helps you share & sync files between your computers & smartphones, as well as easily access them over the web with no software.

It gives you 2GB for free (2.25GB when you use my referral link) & for every friend who joins & installs Dropbox, you & your friend will get an extra 250MB of bonus space!

PLUS, if you have a school email address, you can go here & add your school email to your Dropbox account & receive 500MB per friend you have added or will add instead of just 250MB!

It's always been a convenient and secure solution. It's also highly extensible, with a variety of add-ons and great hacks.

I will (gladly) help you get started. Here's my referral link, please sign up and install Dropbox! You will get 2.25GB free, instead of 2GB, for using my referral link:
