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.
