Enhancing Dropbox with ‘Dropbox Forms’ #Dropbox
If, like me, you are a user and fan of Dropbox then you’ll be looking for ways to enhance how you use it. There have been some excellent guides on how to use and abuse it (links below) but here is another great way … Dropbox Forms!
Here, watch this:

As the promotional blurb says:
“Create a dropbox form and we will create a folder named Jotform in your Dropbox. When you get a new upload, it will be there instantly. No mess, no BS.”
So, how can I use it? Well, I’m not advocating using it instead of a VLE, but those who don’t have or use their VLE you could set up the form for students / peers / etc to upload files? I’m sure there are other uses beyond this, and some might even be better than Google Docs (?) … if you think of anything, please share using the comments below.

y name is Rebekah Lloyd and i am visiting your blog from Dr. Stange’s EDM 310 class at the University of South Alabama. I am going to be looking at your blog posts over the next week or so, and will be summarizing my thoughts on my class blog soon. Feel free to check them out! You can also follow me on twitter. I was interested by this post! As a part of this class, we are to download Dropbox, and use it if we feel the need. However, I have not actually used it for my class, but for my job as a personal assistant. I am going to try to do this to keep her life as easy as possible. Thanks for sharing these great resources as well!
