Sharing Files using Dropbox

In addition to email, you can now share files with the medic e-learning team via Dropbox. Dropbox is a cloud-based file sharing service which allows two computers to edit and share content using dedicated space on Dropbox. This means that there is no need to manually upload or download a latest copy of whatever file you have been working on with someone. Share your files now with medic e-learning.

Instructions:
  1. Install Dropbox on the computers and/or mobile devices you use
  2. Put files in your Dropbox folder
  3. Share your folder with others


Pros:
  • Automatic synchronise
  • Un-delete option
  • Revert to old copy
  • Share files with two or more users
  • Install on mobile devices
Cons:
  • Limited storage
  • Registration required
