The "dropbox" is a Content Management Tool dedicated to peer-to-peer data exchange. Any file type is accepted: Word, Excel, PDF etc. It will manage same versions of a file in the sense that it will avoid destruction of a document by a document having the same name.

The dropbox shows the files that were sent to you (the received folder) and the files that you sent to other members of this course (the sent folder).

If the list of received or sent files gets too long, you can delete all or some files from the list. The file itself is not removed as long as the other party can see it.

To send a document

• Go to the section of the "Student Publications" from the main page.
• Click on the "Browse" button to select the document.
• The author (the person that uploads the document) is automatically provided by the system.
• Give a file description.
• Select the members from the multiple select box. Notice: To send a document to more than one person, you need to use CTRL+click in the multiple select box.
• Validate by "OK".
