7. Tool #2
Dropbox
dropbox.com
Free Cloud-based
storage of all of your
important documents.
8. How it can be used
Require all students to have a Dropbox
account.
If students use Dropbox for their files,
they always have backup copies and
never have an excuse of “I left it at
home”
Public folder can be used to share files
with the instructor or other students.
Allows students to have access to their
files from any internet connected
computer.
10. Weaknesses
Constantly uploading and downloading
files – doesn’t work well with slow
internet connection.
Cloud based so it has the potential to be
hacked.
Free account only gives 2GB of storage
space.
