hey guys welcome back to another tech
guru video today we are in dropbox so
i'm going to be showing you guys today
how to upload a file to dropbox and then
once you've done that how to share that
file with multiple people so drop box if
you do not know is a file sharing
program or service i'm sorry that allows
you to upload files to the web or the
cloud whatever you want to call it and
then share those files amongst peers
workers schoolmates whatever that may be
so i'm going to show you how to do that
today so the first thing obviously is
you need to you know have a dropbox
account it's free
there is a premium version but you can
get so much storage for free
so go ahead and enter your email and
give them all the information they need
and go ahead and get a dropbox account
what you've done that log into your
account
what we're going to want to do is once
you're logged in in order to upload a
file to dropbox and get it on the cloud
to share with someone you need to go up
here to where you see the upload tab or
upload link right here has a blue
addition symbol and then a little blank
piece of paper
click on the upload button and then
it'll say choose files click on that
choose files option there and then what
you'll do is you just go on your
computer and wherever you find a file
that you want to use you can I just go
up here and find that file and then once
you have go ahead and click the Open
button there or upload and then also
gives you the opportunity to add more
files if you decided you want to add
more after uploading the first one and
then once that file is uploaded you will
then see a little green check mark right
there beside of that file and then click
done
now as you can see here I have that file
that i just uploaded and it's in blue
there which means i have it selected now
I want to show you guys how to share a
file via Dropbox so let's say you want
to share a file with a person you're
working on a project with but they live
hundreds of miles away how do you do
that
all you do is go ahead and highlight the
file that you want to share it will turn
blue or light blue and then you go ahead
and see something that says share link
up there you'll see the little link
image there right beside it click on
that button there with the file that you
want to share selected and then once you
do that you'll see a few different
options come available to you
you're going to need to then type in
their email into the the box here when
it prompts you to and that's going to be
the person that you're sharing the file
with so as you see here it says add
names or emails and then attach a
message so what you're going to do is
you're going to go ahead and enter the
email of the person that you want to
share the file with that may be a
message like hey look at this tell me
what you think
and then once you've done that you can
actually go down to where you see the
blue sin button click on that there and
that will now share that file to them it
will say sent to and then it will give
the email address as to where you sent
that file -
so again that is how you share a file
via Dropbox is you just click the share
the link option there and boom it shared
it now you can obviously download those
files if someone has shared a file with
you by clicking the green download file
button there
you can delete files you can rename them
move them around
you can even create folders just like it
would be on your computer
so anyways guys that is how you upload a
file to dropbox as well as how you share
it once it is uploaded so i hope this
helps you out if it did help me out
