[nabs-l] drop box

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
well, she sent me a link.
But I do not see the files; only the note stating how many files are there.
It says
the following when I clickon it
"join drop box to view this folder"

So it appears I have to join it based on what I see.
if I do not figure out another way, I'll join and see what happens.

And, to the person who said that you will see buttons to open or save files 
and you click on save, thanks.
Knowing downloading files should be that easy makes me feel a little better.
When she refused to give me instructions, I really was panicking; she is 
giving me a little less than a week to download them, so I hope it¡¯s a 
simple process as there are tons of files.

Ashley

If they send you a link to the file, you can just download it
without an account.  There is no captcha for creating the account
or logging in with a new device, but if you want to access your
account through a web browser instead of the dropbox app or
software, there is a captcha that has to be done once to trust
that computer.  Of course, this makes it inaccessible to the
Braillenote.  I've used it very successfully with my IPhone,
however, and I've been able to download files from links onto my
Braillenote as well.  Hope this helps!  There is also relatively
decent documentation online, so your best bet is probably to just
set up your account and follow the directions.  It is free after
all, and it's something you can offer to use instead of less
accessible options like Google Dr.

Hope this helps,
Karl

Hi all,

My school shares accessible files via drop box.

As I mentioned last email, I have not used it.
Can you tell me   if its accessible.
Can I simply download files from a folder link or do I need an
account?
If I create an account, is there a captua?

If I create an account, how do I link up to the other person?™s
account to get the files?

I know people asked before about drop box on list, so I?™m not
the only one who must be confused.

Thanks.

Ashley
