[nabs-l] drop box

Wed Feb 11 02:02:15 UTC 2015

Ok I didn't see the other emails. just sign up and have an account.
then you will have a folder on your desktop or in your documents
called dropbox.
when you hit enter, you'll see you shared folder with your school.
when the school puts a file there you will otomaticly see it. you
don't need to downloadanything.
if you delete or change something in the file. the school will see it
as well. so in order to work on them, you may want to copy them a
different location. but it is very easy, just copy and paste.

>> Ashley, the point of dropbox is that all your files are in the
