Share your files quickly around the world

There are often situations when you want to share files on your PC with friends, family or colleagues. You may know the traditional ways of attaching them to emails, or uploading them to a file sharing website. Here below explaining 2 easy ways you can share files. 

Dushare (www.dushare.com) 
Dushare is different from browser-based files sharing sites like Yousendit and Hotshare because it doesn't involve uploading of files. Therefore, there is no waiting involved; it allows direct, encrypted P2P sharing. Once you select the file to share, it gives you a URL to share with the other person to initiate the direct transfer from your PC to theirs. While the file transfers, you can also chat with the person you're sharing the file with, right in the Dushare window. No sign-in is required. 

Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) 
A little more complicated than the others, but Dropbox also offers a lot of features. Rather than just share, you can sync complete folders with multiple users by downloading the Dropbox application on your Windows, Linux or Mac machine. Any changes, additions you make in the Dropbox folder on your PC will instantly be reflected in the folders of others, as long as they are connected to the Internet. A big advantage of Dropbox is that you can also use it to share files from your mobile phone (apps available for iPhone/iPod Touch, Android & Blackberry) or iPad.
