Easy enough to click on it, when you're in the folder you want the file to go to, and select the file(s) you want to upload. It's the icon of a piece of paper and an up arrow.
If you prefer to upload some files directly to Dropbox, rather than clicking and dragging existing folders and files in the program, you can use the Upload feature. You can manage them from their new location from now on. Note also that just like any "moved" folders or files, they will no longer be in the location you previously stored them. Notice that as you move folders from their prior location to Dropbox, they instantly pop up in your Dropbox account online and are now stored in your Dropbox folder on your computer and on the Internet and are backed up 'in the cloud'. The example below shows that they were moved to the default Photos folder in Dropbox. your C drive or an external flash drive, into the Dropbox folder. All you have to do in the Dropbox program is drag those folders from their current location, i.e.
For example, let's say you have two existing folders called Gallery Photos and Portraits. Just like any other folder hierarchy, you can - if you want - add your own folders rather than using their Photos folder or you can open that folder and move your folders there in order to organize your images. You will see the Dropbox folder with a Photos folder already setup and a Getting Started PDF file. Rather it is simply a window with your folder hierarchy. Don't be surprised that it's not a fancy looking program. Once the Dropbox software is downloaded, click on the program icon to open it. You can do it while it finishes downloading the software.
The first option is to Take the Dropbox Tour, which is worth doing even after you've read this article. While that is downloading, you will be logged into your online account and sent to the Get Started page, as shown here. You will automatically be prompted to download the software. It’s free to sign up, and comes with 2GB of free storage, or use this link to get an extra 500mb storage for free.Ĭlick on the link and enter your First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and a Password. The first step is to setup a Dropbox account, if you don't already have one. If you don’t already have a backup system, I suggest you set your account up as we go so you don’t go another day living in danger of losing your images. While there are other programs out there, (and I've covered my favorite backup programs before) I'm going to walk you through setting up and using a Dropbox account.
