Your local PC dropbox

So whatever you
uploaded on your online
dropbox…
…you can find them in
your local dropbox folder
In vice versa, if you
update your local
dropbox..
…your online dropbox will
be updated too.
Now let’s try the other
way around.
Updating your dropbox
through your local PC.
Locate the dropbox folder
in your PC
In this example, it is located in the
drive C.
Open dropbox
For example we need to
transfer the file “SAMPLE
DOCUMENT” to dropbox
You may drag/drop or copy/pastes the
file to your dropbox folder
There you have it.
You may also share your
files to others.
For instance you want to share “Sample
Folder” to others.
Move the mouse over the folder you want to
share.
Click on the triangle.
Select “Shared folder options”.
Enter email addresses of whom you want to
share the folder.
You may also add a short message for them.
Click on “Share folder”.
An invitation email will be
sent to the recipients…
…and gives them a link to
accept your invite
Once they accept your
invitation, the folder will
appear in their Dropbox
account
Yes, they must have a
dropbox account too...
…for them to access what
you are sharing.
Can I still recover my
deleted items?
Yes, you can!
Click “Show deleted files”
Select the document you want to recover
Right click then click “Undelete”
Then your file will be
restored
Done. Thank you.
