DropBox

= = toc Web-based/cloud area to put your files to access them anywhere, anytime. Share files and access them via your mobile. Free. Works with Drop Box. Allows people/students to upload files to your Drop Box account without giving them access to the contents of your Drop Box account.

Reasons for Use
Drop Box DropItToMe
 * data backup
 * anytime access
 * file sharing
 * free for 2GB and up to 8GB by inviting others
 * share photos easily
 * go green in your classroom - a paperless environment may be better?
 * students don't need to wait to print their work, once they've finished their work, they can immediately upload it

Ease of Use
Drop Box DropItToMe
 * easy to sign up on any device and computer, just download the application, sign up and you are ready!
 * works by synching with your Drop Box account. After connecting the two services, DropItToMe gives a URL and password that you share with people/students so they can upload files to a DropItToMe folder inside your DropBox account. One thing I stress is that anyone sending files should follow a specific naming convention so that it's easy to find. //ie. SherryL_SST10_CanadaAtWar_essay//
