Using+Dropbox

**Using Dropbox and Cloud Computing in the Classroom**

Presented by Bill Healey

Any file you save to Dropbox also instantly saves to your computers, phones, and the Dropbox website. * Your files are always available from the secure Dropbox website. * You always have your files, whether or not you have a connection. * Dropbox transfers just the parts of a file that change (not the whole thing). Shared folders allow people to work together on the same projects and documents. * Invite colleagues or students to a folder. It’ll be as if you saved the folder to their computers. * See other people’s changes instantly. * Send a link to any file in your Dropbox using your Public folder.

Dropbox is limited to 10Gb storage. You can increase your free storage up to this limit by inviting other people to join Dropbox. Dropbox can be used to move files easily between people and between machines. The computer, iPad, iPhone must have Dropbox. Files can be stored in the public file and then a link emailed to others.
