Introduction

If you already have a Dropbox account, that’s great! This course will show you how to check your Dropbox account to make sure that it is ready to go.

If you do not have a Dropbox account, don’t worry. This course will show you how to set up a Dropbox account.

This short course will walk you through the following steps:

  1. Create a Dropbox account.
  2. Make sure that your Dropbox email address matches your Moodle profile email address.
  3. Upload a file to Dropbox and put it in a folder.
  4. Connect to your group share folder.
  5. Upload your video assignment.

Completing this course is not required.

Instead, we recommend that you go through this course before the start of the semester and then refer to it during your SU Online courses as needed.

A Note on the Dropbox Desktop Application

Some students may choose to use the Dropbox Desktop Application, as opposed to the Dropbox Web Application shown in the how-to video above.  If you would like to use Dropbox on your desktop, please be mindful of the following icons:

Dropbox green check mark

You will see this icon when a file has been synced to the Dropbox cloud.

Dropbox blue arrows

If you see this icon on a file or folder, it means that Dropbox is in the process of uploading and syncing this file/folder with the Dropbox cloud.  The file/folder is not completely uploaded to the Dropbox cloud yet.

Dropbox red x

This Dropbox icon tells you that the file/folder has not uploaded correctly to the Dropbox cloud.  Most likely this is because your computer is not connected to the internet, or your Dropbox account is full.  Check your network connection, then empty some files out of your Dropbox folder to make room for the new file.

 

To learn more about these important Dropbox icons, please visit the Dropbox website.
