Using Post to Dropbox is intuitive and simple. Right-click on any file or folder in Finder, Mail, or any other application you choose. Then select "Move/Copy to Dropbox" from the contextual menu.

There is a check box to enable "overwrite existing files."
Overall, the Post to Dropbox Service is a powerful tool that enables users to make full use of Dropbox's public sharing capabilities. The installation process is straightforward, and the service is easy to use.
