This 2017 webinar provides an overview of Dropbox and how it can be used as an alternative for an internal network that enables resources sharing and back up of files.

Dropbox and Google have competed to provide cloud storage and file sharing. We review how Dropbox works and what makes it different from Google Drive. We have a quick look at productivity tools and sharing features before outlining how Dropbox has been used in LBS programs to create a local “network”.

No more getting that USB stick and going from one lab computer to the next to copy learning activities. We look at how you can “network” computers with Dropbox, how you can share folders and files, and how you can use Dropbox as an automatic and remote backup.
