Send Files to Dropbox Using Email
Dropbox is becoming one of the favourite for most of the internet users. I hope you an account for Dropbox, if not signup for an account from here
Dropbox is something which everyone know about. But if you are new to it, get more information here. We have already published a post on Encrypting a Dropbox to make it more secure and protected. The only condition for it is to have Dropbox installed on your PC. Other option is to login online and upload your file.
Using Dropbox you can use your files to take backup and keep it safe. You can upload all your personal stuff or can take all your backup online. But what if you want to upload something which is not with you. Means, you are at your office and you found something very personal related to you and you want to have it. You are not allowed to open Dropbox in your office, nor you have installed it on your office PC, neither anyone should know about it. Now what? Ok, lets take another example, you are at your friends place and you need to add one very important file to your Dropbox account. Ofcourse you will login into your Dropbox's account and then will upload it. How much time will it take? Is there any simple and easy way to add that file into your Dropbox account? Answer is Yes, and its via Mail.
Now you can simply send that file as an attachment to your unique SendToDropbox email address. This email address is confidential and you can share it with your friends. Then you can change it by visiting the site again.
You need to signup for this service, follow the steps below:
1. Go to "SendToDropbox.com" and click on the link ‘Connect To Dropbox’.

4. Then you will see a unique email address that you will be using for send your attachment in your Dropbox. If you don't like the email id provided to you, click on the "I want a different address link".
5. It will ask you to enter your favourite word. Enter and click on the "Get New Email Address" button.
6. You will be provided with an email address containing your favourite word.
Note: When you generate your new id the previous one gets replaced with the new one.
Now just send your attachments to the unique email id generated and it will be uploaded to your Dropbox account.
