I have used it personally and we use it for out high school students so they have access to files they work on at school when they are at home. It is pretty generous for a free site, accepts a variety of file formats, you can share folders with different access you set up as the owner. I think it is a good site, does have file size restrictions for uploading but again all generous to begin with. If I can answer any questions please let me know.; ▶ Reply to This
