Dropbox is an amazing tool that is accessible and usable by virtually everyone! It is a site that I was introduced to by my husband about 3 years ago. Right after we got married we used it as a way to share photos of our wedding day and honeymoon with our friends and family. It was a great way to share all these picture without trying to upload them a few at a time into an email, it was much easier and efficient. We shared these photos through use of the public folder and then emailed the link out to all the people we wanted to share with, they all loved being able to see our photos and it also gave us an online back up to protect those important memories!
I have also used Dropbox a lot as a teacher using the shared folders. As a first grade teacher I work very collaboratively with my fellow first grade teachers, and Dropbox is a great way to do that! We are able to drop smartboard files or activities we are going to do with our students into our Dropbox shared folder and immediately the rest of our first grade team has those files to use. I really like the automatic sync and pop up notification that lets you know when a new file is being added to any shared folder! I really love being able to share through Dropbox because most smartboard files are rather large and it can be hard and time consuming to try and get them to upload to an email but with Dropbox you just drop it in and it syncs up automatically!
