You know it is no longer a part of Blackboard but a handy software program that let’s you share files. Here are just a few of the things that can be done with the Dropbox program:
File Sync – Dropbox allows you to sync your files online and across your computers automatically.
2GB of online storage for free, with up to 100GB available to paying customers.
File Sharing – Sharing files is simple and can be done with only a few clicks.
Shared folders allow several people to collaborate on a set of files.
Online Backup – Dropbox backs up your files online without you having to think about it.
Automatic backup of your files.
Web Access – A copy of your files are stored on Dropbox’s secure servers. This lets you access them from any computer or mobile device.
Manipulate files as you would on your desktop – add, edit, delete, rename etc.
Security & Privacy – Dropbox takes the security and privacy of your files very seriously.
Shared folders are viewable only by people you invite.
Let me know if you would like an invite to install, I get free storage if you do!!!

DropBox is a great tool. Here in Dental Medicine, we use it all the time for shared access to files used in course management. Any group that needs access to a common set of files will, I’m sure, find that DropBox is the tool of choice. The free version will satisfy most needs, I’ll bet.
