File storage and sharing services not only allow you convenience access to your files, they also provide the ability to transmit files or provide access to folders of files to your colleagues. As an added benefit, you no longer need to travel with external storage devices as a backup. Many of these services sync your files between the cloud, desktop computers and even your smartphone. Here are seven free file sharing services to help you with collaboration and organization in your smart office:
