[nabs-l] drop box

[Karl Martin Adam]

Ashley, the point of dropbox is that all your files are in the 
cloud.  You can download them if you really want to, but if you 
have an account and internet access you can just read and edit 
all your files right on Dropbox.

Aleeha,

Good to know. Okay, what happened was they sent me a link to the 
drop box folder with subject line of email was  xxx wants to 
share file with you.
I put xx instead of her name.
They gave me the folder link.
I  clicked on the link. And, bang! I ran into issues.
I saw only  a note saying there was 37 files.
So, how can I download them from  folder link she sent me?
She won’t tell me and I looked several times for a button to 
save or download files.
. All I saw was a form to sign in and links to create account.

I think its best to create an account for the reason you said, to 
save files to the pc.
But here is my question and concern.
There is so many files!
IMO, it would be easier to simply zip a file up for me and me 
download and unzip it with all files there.
So, I suppose this means I have to sit down and download every 
single file. Is that right?
Is there a way to download all contents of the folder?
I really hope  I don’t have to download every single file one 
by one.

Thanks.

Ashley

You can, however, download files from a folder link that someone 
sends you. If you sign up for an account, there is no captcha and 
the process is very easy. It is best to get an account, that way, 
you can save files to your computer

  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
