Getting Started Overview
Help
Sharing/Backup
You can copy files to your Dropbox folder.
Why copy vs. move?
– If you share, the other person can delete a file
and you lose it.
You can just have an on-line account,
which I don’t recommend.
Share a Folder
Note – if you have two computers, you can
download Dropbox on both computers and
use the same account.
Therefore you automatically share all
folders and files.
To share with another person, you click on
Share a Folder (shown next).
Go to your DropBox on-line account.
