Store Your Educational Technology Files in Dropbox
If you’re like me you create and thus have to save and store multiple
files—and that’s just for your personal use.
Teachers need plenty of storage space. Multimedia lessons, powerpoint, downloaded videos (since most schools block youtube, even for teachers), pictures etc. Most schools are happy to provide ample storage. But unless you back them up those files remain at school. Hence, some schools provide laptops for their teachers.
If teachers don’t have a laptop, and if they want to get any work done at home they’ll end up having to transfer files one way or another. Teachers will have to save files on a flash drive or some other device if they want to work at home and then bring that to work. Then they’ll have to save the work they did on their work computer and bring it home. That’s a lot of wasted time.
There’s a way to work smarter with dropbox. Dropbox allows you to save files in one place from multiple sources. If you’ve saved a file at home, you can access the storage from one place. If you’ve saved a picture on your phone, you can move it to dropbox. Then, wherever you go in the world, dropbox has you covered. Check it out–I think it’s a useful organizational tool for teachers. Best of all–it’s free!

Here’s a video demonstration. There’s also a shorter demo on the dropbox website.
