Faculty, Staff and Students who have been invited to Carleton's Dropbox account can then install and use Carleton Dropbox files and folders, particularly Team folders. If you need a Dropbox account, please submit a File Storage Request.
Download the Dropbox application
Dropbox will walk you through the installation process
Link Dropbox with your Carleton Account
If desired, change your Dropbox preferences for what gets downloaded to your computer
By default, files from your Carleton Dropbox account will leave files stored in the cloud and will only sync local copies when you open a specific file or use Smart Sync to pull down local copies. (Dropbox will take time and effort on initial install to sync file data, but it should not significantly impact actual harddrive storage space.)
You may elect to use Selective Sync if there are portions of your Dropbox storage that you never want to have local copies of on your computer.
Link your Carleton Dropbox installation with your personal Dropbox Account (optional)
Not at your own computer? Your files are always available at dropbox.com
