[nabs-l] Fwd: How to use Dropbox

Tue Dec 31 20:11:43 UTC 2013

Hi Elif, this is Helga! I just wanted to ask you, Do yu think is easier to 
share folders, documents, and links from the iPhone, rather than from the 
computer? If it is, could you tell me how to do it? Thanks and God bless!! 
:)

I have just trıed and it worked.
firstly You need to open the document whether it's a word document or
a picture or a folder. Then the share button on the tup gets
activated.
you can share via e-mail twitter facebook or text
I used e-mail and it worked
Thanks I'll put the folder on my PC and share it on my Iphone
I liked this idea
Thanks again for sharing
