This instruction manual will help you get started with the basic features that Dropbox has to offer. I. What is Dropbox? Dropbox is a folder on your computer that synchronizes your files online and across computers. Any files you place within it will be available on your other computers with Dropbox, as well as the web. This means that all of your files are available from any computer that has an internet connection. Furthermore, if you make any updates to the files within your Dropbox, they’ll update across all your other computers without you needing to do anything. Dropbox also works on Windows, Mac and Linux, so your files can be synchronized no matter what computer you use. There are two parts to Dropbox: the Dropbox application and the Dropbox web interface. We’ll be covering both of these in this guide when applicable. You’ll notice that there are icons on top of all the files and folders within your Dropbox. A green icon means that your file is sync’d with Dropbox A blue icon means that your file is currently being transferred to Dropbox A red icon means that your file couldn’t be transferred. The same applies to the Dropbox tray/menu bar icon. A green icon means that all your files in Dropbox are up to date A blue icon means that your Dropbox is currently transferring files A red icon means that Dropbox is unable to sync files 2 II. Sy
