Dropbox

Dated 8/17/2010

For those of you who weren't around last Monday, here are a few things we discussed and downloaded.




1. The group is testing software that will allow files to be shared within the dept. The software is called Dropbox and it allows you to put a file in your secure internet sight and be able to retrieve it from any computer that has your username and password associated to the dropbox. Currently we are using ortho1/ortho1 as the username and password for file sharing. If the group decides they like this, we will purchase more space. Right now we are just using the free space given when you sign up. Go to www.dropbox.com to download or read more about it. Dropbox is loaded on 2 computers in the residents room now.



2. They are also testing Papers, which is an Apple app that can be downloaded right to you IPad. There is a charge for this. If you purchase this please give me a receipt and I will reimburse you for the purchase. This has been found very useful by the people I've talked with.



If you have any others items that I missed, please reply to all on this email so that we can share all of our helpful hints.
