Ashley, I don't actually use dropbox on the pc just my IPhone, so
I don't know if it stays open. As for how to access your folder,
you have to click on the link once you have an account, and then
click through a couple pages to accept that you want to be added
to the folder. After that, it will appear as a subfolder under
your dropbox folder.

Aleeha,
So it sounds like I need an account. I'll work on that.
Once I download the application to the pc, does it just stay
there, running
in the background and updating the files, assuming I'm connected
to the
internet?
I think that is what you're saying.
How much storage space do I have?
The coordinator sent me an email from drop box. it said she
wanted to share
files with me and inside the email, it has a link.
Is this link the shared folder?
I assume once I set up the account, I'll see my shared folder she
created if
it is set properly.
Thanks.
Ashley

Once you create an account and download the app to your computer,
you should
be able to add the folder to your dropbox, which means it will
continuously
update. That's only if this has been set up properly. You may
need to do
some talking with your disability services people on how they are
sharing
these files with you. The best way would be for you to set up an
account,
download the application, and then have them invite your email
address to a
shared folder. Once you accept that invitation by clicking on a
link, you
will have that folder added into the application on your
computer. Then,
your computer does all the work for you, updating the file list
every time a
new document is added. Hope that helps. As to your first
question, the
interface has changed a little since I have looked at it on a
computer,
especially without an account. I not sure I am the best to answer
that
question.

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
