- Go to http://dropbox.yorku.ca
- Login with your PassportYork username and password.
- Click “Browse” and choose a file to send.
- Enter the recipients email. You can enter multiple recipient addresses separated by commas.
- Click “Upload File and Send Notification”.
The receipents will receive an email that looks like this:
jas has uploaded a file for you, using the York University Dropbox. To download the file please go to: http://download.yorku.ca/index.php?id=aa602c755f02b50610999180648c57c138fb0d6eaca7aaf725514123121f7b71 All files uploaded to the York University dropbox are maintained for 3 days, upon which they are deleted.
