Hi Helga,
When you install dropbox in your devices you should see a folder
called dropbox on your desktop and I phone.
You can think this is a regular folder that you can create new folders
or documents in it and also copy or cut something and paste there.
When you put a new item in your dropbox folder in your PC, you’ll see
it on your I phone dropbox folder automatically, and vice versa. This
is a kind of personal storage area.
Then go to your dropbox folder and select an item that you would like
to share with somebody. Press application button and find  :share
dropbox link” and press enter
Now the link has been copied on your clipboard and ready to paste
anywhere you want. You can simply paste it in an e-mail and share it
everyone regardless of their dropbox memberships. Everyone can open
this link and get the item.
The second sharing option is again starting with application button.
You should find “share this folder” and press enter. This time you’ll
go to internet page of dropbox. Find shared folder options. This is
not a link but opens with enter like a link. You’ll find here the
sharing info here and invite more people. Click here and write the
e-mail address there. Finally you need to press “send invites”
Button. However, I couldn’t manage to do that with jaws and internet
explorer. I ask someone sighted to press the button. It’s an
accessibility issue or my problem.
Anyway if you have a shared folder with others, when you put an item
in it, everyone will see it. While doing a group project it’s very
nice to use this way. Everybody can make changes on the document and
others instantly would see. Be careful, if you delete an item, it
would disappear from everybody’s folders. To be able to share a folder
like this, others should have a dropbox account. They can open it when
you send a sharing  invitation. By doing so you’ll get extra space on
your dropbox account.
If you have any more questions, please ask me.
And if anybody can press the send invitation button, please share with me.
Happy new year for everybody.
Elif
