About more info on using Dropbox, there's a text file in the Public 
folder, which you can open with Word or whatever and read. Basically, 
you just copy files into Dropbox, and your computer uploads them to the 
server automatically. If you want to remove them, just delete them or 
cut and copy them somewhere else. Keep in mind that, if you remove a 
file from the Dropbox folder on one computer, it gets deleted from 
Dropbox on all your other computers. To share a link to the file, put 
the file in the Public folder, and use the Applications key to go into 
the Dropbox submenu, pressing enter on the Copy item. After that use 
ctrl+V to paste the link somewhere else. I think you are redirected to 
the Dropbox website if you try sharing a folder.

About increasing space on Dropbox, as others have said, you get more 
space by sharing folders and referring people or by paying for the 
space. Paying for the space can be done once a year or month by month. I 
wanted to share a couple of very large files with someone once, So I 
subscribed for a month. In a nutshell, I chose the monthly subscription 
option and cancelled it a few days later. Since I'd already paid 10 
dollars, I had lots of storage space for 30 days. At the end of that 
time, I went back to the regular amount of space.

If you don't feel like subscribing, you can move some of your necessary 
files to Google Drive or MS One Drive, which are similar services.
