Dropbox newest features including sharing files with a mere link

For those who love to use Online storage service Dropbox, there have been a host of developments around the service in the past few days.

For example, 1 of them, launched today, relates to file sharing. This new feature called ‘file requests’ allows users to ask for & receive huge digital files with just a mere link. On its blog, Dropbox said:

With file requests, gathering photos, docs, and more from a bunch of people is simple. Just send out a link, and watch the files show up in your Dropbox. Here’s what you can do with file requests:

Get files from anyone. Collecting bids from contractors? Anyone can send you a file, whether they have a Dropbox account or not.
Easily receive large files. Want to get a copy of a video from a friend’s party? Unlike email attachments, anyone can send files as large as 2 GB.
Organize everything in one place. Whether you’re collecting from one person or one hundred, all the files you receive are organized into a single folder, available on all your devices.
