How to share your files via dropbox website

Dropbox is an easy to use file sync and sharing application. After registering for free dropbox accounts, you may want to create a shared folder with your friends so that both you and your friends can easily access files in that folder.

Here are simple steps that can help you share your files with your friends.

Step 1: Sign in to your dropbox account
Visit dropbox home page at http://dropbox.com/ and sign in with your dropbox account. Click this link if you are new to dropbox.

Step 2: Create a new shared folder
Click "Share a folder" link.

In the new pop up window, you can choose to: create a new shared folder or share an existing folder.
Im my case, I create a new shared folder named "My shared folder with friends" and click "Next".

Step 3: Enter your friends' email addresses
In the new pop up window, provide your friends' email address in the "Invite collaborators to this folder" tab and click "Share folder" button. Dropbox will then sent email invitations to your friends.

Step 4: Waiting for your friends' confirmation
After your friends accept your invitations, the shared folder will be displayed in their dropbox accounts.
