Move your files into your Dropbox simply by dragging and dropping them into your Dropbox folder on your desktop. That's it. The files in your Dropbox folder will automatically be synced online and to your other devices. When working on a file, you can use the Save As... menu option in most applications to save files directly to your Dropbox folder. You can also upload files through the Dropbox website.
On the Dropbox website
- Sign in to the Dropbox website.
- Click the Upload button from the very top of the window.
- A window will appear. Click the Choose File button and then select the file on your computer that you’d like to add to Dropbox.
- Choose as many files as you like, and then click the Start Upload button.
The Upload button
The window will disappear, you files will start uploading, and you’ll see a progress indicator. That’s it, you’ve added files to your Dropbox!
Note: Each file you upload through the website must be 10GB or less. For even larger files, use the desktop application or mobile app, which don’t have this limit.
