You will have a number of options
51

52

Delete it,
66
Rename it,
67
Move it to different folders,
68
Copy it,
69
View in photos,
70
Or view previous versions.
71
Now, one of the main features
72
of Dropbox is that
73
its a collaborative tool
74
where we can share files,
75
and work with other people in Dropbox.
76
Let me show you some of
77
your sharing options.
78
To share a file,
79
theres two ways to do it.
80
You can just click the Share link on the right.
81
Or you can right click,
82
then click share,
83
Now lets try to share it.
84
Just click the Share button.
85
Type the Email of the person
86
that you want to share your file with.
87
Then write a message(optional),
88
And click share.
89
Another option of sharing this file
90
Is by sending your recipients a link
91
of your file.
92
Just click over Create link.
93
And then select Copy link.
94
By doing this,
95
you are copying the link of your file
96
and you can send that link to anybody.
97
You can Email it to somebody,
98
you can text it to somebody,
99
Or you could just write it down
100
and hand it to them.
101
And when they go to that link
102
in their web browser,
103
..they will access your file.
104
Which means, that your file
105
is technically visible to the public.
106
Which Dropbox tells you
107
In this sentence right here
108
That says
109
Anyone with the link can view this file.
110
So you may not want to choose this option
111
For files that you think need confidentiality.
112
So that is how you share a file
113
here in Dropbox.
114
Now lets go ahead
115
and try to make some folder.
116
Because once you started using Dropbox,
117
This area is going to build
118
.and build
119
and build
120
..and build files.
121
And you will probably want
122
to organize your files.
123
Now, you can create a folder
124
by clicking the small folder over here
125
With the + icon.
126
And once you click it,
127
Youll see a new folder appears
128
and you can rename it whatever you want.
129
Like this.
130
Then just click off of it.
131
And you will see its created.
132
Now what you need to do next is
133
Click your file
134
135
And you can just drag it right into your folder.
136
137
So now your file is no longer listed
138
in your primary file.
139
And if you click on your
140
...My Pictures folder,
141
142
There it is.
143
You will notice that right here at the top
144
it shows you a hierarchy of
145
where you are located in Dropbox.
146
So you will see that from Dropbox,
147
you are now in the My pictures folder.
148
If you want to go back in the Home Page,
149
Just click Dropbox,
150
and there you are
151
...back in your Main Page.
152
Now over here on the left,
153
we have a number of options,
154
to kind of navigate through our Dropbox.
155
For example you want to see
156
just photos,
157
just click over it.
158
If you click on Sharing.
159
It will show you
160
any folder that youve shared.
161
By clicking Links on the other hand,
162
It will show you any links
163
that youve created here in Dropbox
164
...that you can send to anybody
165
to share a file or folder.
166
The Events option over here,
167
will show you any activity
168
that you have done here in Dropbox.
169
It basically give you an idea of
170
whats going on with
171
..all your files and folders here in Dropbox.
172
This is your notifications button.
173
This is going to show you when
174
somebody for instance
175
shared a file with you
176
or somebody edits a file
177
and any type of notifications
178
that you need to receive here in Dropbox.
179
This is where you can access all
180
your account information.
181
Here, you can add an account photo,
182
See how much storage youve used,
183
You can modify any of your settings,
184
Install the desktop version in your computer,
185
Upgrade your account,
186
Or sign out.
187
And thats pretty much it.
188
I hope you found this tutorial helpful.
189
Thank you!
