Navigate to the Digital Dropbox in your course. It can usually be found in Course Tools or it may appear as a separate link in Course Menu.

To upload files to your instructor choose the SEND FILE button.

Do NOT use the ADD FILE button. This merely places files in YOUR dropbox. It does not send them to your instructor.

Type in a title for the document. Include your FIRST & LAST NAME in the title.

Use the Browse button to locate the file.

Mac users should click on Choose File.

The file will now appear in your own dropbox with a label "submitted on month, day, & year." If you do not see this message then the file was not sent. At this time, the file does not have a remove button.

After your instructor downloads your file and deletes it from his/her Digital Dropbox, the label on the file in YOUR Digital Dropbox changes to read "received on month, day & year." At this time, the file will have a Remove button. It is now safe to remove it from your Digital Dropbox.

If the label on the file reads "posted on month, day, & year " then you used the ADD button instead of the SEND button. It means that you put the file in your drop box but did NOT send it to your instructor.

To receive files from your instructor, look in your Digital Dropbox. Files waiting for you are listed here, with titles underlined.

Windows — Right-click on the title, choose "Save Target as," choose where you want to save the file, and click "Save."

Mac — Hold down the Control button on the keyboard, click the mouse, and choose Download linked file. The default saving location is the desktop.
