#What is dropbox wiki full

If you share a folder, they have full access to all of the files in that folder.ĭropbox does save historical copies of files and recovering a file that has been accidentally edited or deleted is not difficult. There are no settings in Dropbox to allow some users to upload only. If you share a folder with students, anyone of them can open, edit, copy, past, delete any of the information in any other student's work. Another problem with sharing a folder with students is privacy and protecting information. Adding new students as they come in to class and removing students who drop the class would be very difficult. First, just setting this up (getting all of the student emails and creating a shared folder for each class) would be very difficult. One area where I think the Nerdy Teacher might run into some problems is in sharing folders with students. I even share a folder with another web designer who creates a page for our school, then saves the site to a shared Dropbox folder that I can upload to our school server. I share a folders with other teachers and administrators.

Sending or sharing links to files in the Public folder of Dropbox has been particularly helpful. I use Dropbox on my home computer, my school desktop, my laptop, my iPad, and my iPod. Accessing files from any computer is tremendously valuable. The Nerdy Teacher has it right, Dropbox is a tool that can benefit all teachers. The Nerdy Teacher writes that Dropbox is 'a must for all teachers.' Do you agree? Explain.
