|| <strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Started</strong><br />

Go to http://www.dropbox.com/register and it will take you to the<br />

form pictured to the right.<br />

After you agree to the terms and click “Create Account,” the<br />

website will automatically start downloading the <strong>Dropbox</strong><br />

application onto your computer:<br />

Once you have downloaded and installed the application, you will<br />

be able to access and add files directly from your computer. And<br />

if you are working on a Mac, your <strong>Dropbox</strong> can be accessed right<br />

from within your Finder window:<br />

You will also see the<br />

<strong>Dropbox</strong> icon in your upper<br />

toolbar for easy access:<br />

DISCLAIMER:<br />

<strong>Dropbox</strong> is a Cloud App, which means<br />

that it not 100% secure. Important<br />

files - such as banking statements or<br />

passwords - are not recommended as<br />

uploaded files. It is best to still have an<br />

external hard drive to backup all of<br />

your documents. We recommend<br />

using <strong>Dropbox</strong> for things like team<br />

projects, sharing media files - activities<br />

that do not risk your internet security.<br />
