Hey BauadiSekar, welcome to our Community! 😊
I'm here to second what maher1982 mentioned about using Dropbox with an internet connection.
As for your storage, you get 2GB if you use our free, Basic plan. For additional plans you can have a look here.
If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.

If you sign up for a free Dropbox account, you start with 2 GB of storage.
You can get more by referring friends, going through the getting started guide, or just upgrading to a paid plan.

Welcome to Dropbox!
An internet connection is required to upload, download, and sync files with Dropbox. However, once files are synced to your device, you can access them offline. Any changes made offline will sync automatically when you reconnect to the internet.
