Hi Cearbhall.
Thanks again for this. This is all clear now. It was the "share this folder"
bit that I wasn't too clear about. Thanks again for your help.
All the best
Damien.

Damien,
I think you need to separate Skype and Drop box completely. There is no
comparison between them.
Please forget Skype, it has no relation to this process in any way.
1. You said in your previous email that you have set up the new folder in
your Drop Box on your PC. Is that correct?
2. To follow the normal procedure you open drop box and highlight the new
folder name. Do not open this folder. Just right click on the folder name.
You do this by hitting the application key and arrowing down to the drop box
item on the context menu. If you prefer, you can use shift-F10 to open this
menu. Once you are on the drop box item in the menu, you arrow right and you
will see three options. Now arrow down until you see "Share this folder".
When you press enter on this, Drop box opens a web page that has a form at
the top of the page where you put in the email address of the person you
want to invite to share this folder. After you have put in the email address
of your cousin, press tab once to type a message to him. Tab again to the
send button.
2. Your cousin now receives an email which invites him to accept your
invitation. When your cousin accepts this invitation the Drop Box
application is downloaded to his PC if he does not already have it there.
After this download completes your cousin should find Drop box in the My
documents folder with your folder inside it.
3. Your cousin simply places his documents, images or whatever else you are
both sharing into his folder in Drop box on his PC. Drop Box then
automatically passes these files into your folder without you or your cousin
doing anything more about them.
4. Now every file you put into the folder appears on his computer without
either of you doing anything else. If you delete the file, it disappears
from his folder as well.
That is how Drop box works.
Can you spell out the steps that you have taken to link to your cousin? I
can only help you if I know exactly what steps you have taken.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi Cearbhall.
Thanks for this. I think we're almost there. So, when my cousin uploads the
files, presumably he goes to the drop box website and then searches for me.
Is that right? I will of course send him an email with the name of the
folder to upload to.
All the best
Damien.

Damien,
Just for clarity I thought I should respond directly to each of your points
as follows:
You said: "The folder is not within the e-speak folder. As soon as I open
drop box on my desktop, it's there underneath e-speak. "
Me: That's perfect'! Now you have total control of the new folder and can
invite anyone else to share it with you.
You: "Am I correct in thinking that when a file is uploaded to a particular
account, the person uploading that file has to be invited, like Skype. Is
this correct?"
Me: Not exactly. With Skype you are sharing a link between your account and
that of the other person. With Drop Box you are sharing folders, not
accounts. You invite the other person to share your folder rather than a
particular file. They are then free to upload any file they wish to that
folder and you will automatically receive the same file in your copy of the
same folder. The folder is like an open hatch that you are both sharing and
you can each see any file that is put in that folder whether it is put there
by you or by the other person.
Let me know if this clarifies things or not.
All the best
All the best,
Cearbhall

Damien,
This depends on where you have set up your new folder. If you set up under
espeak as in "dropbox\espeak\damien's folder\" we would all see it because
it is within the eSpeak folder. If, however, you set up the folder directly
under dropbox and without opening eSpeak as in "dropbox\Damien's folder\",
we would not see it as we are only sharing the eSpeak folder.
Which of these applies to the way you have set up the folder?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi Cearbhall.
Thanks for this. I've set up a new folder in drop box on my desktop. Am I
write in thinking that unless I deliberately upload this folder then no-one
else in the e-speak group will get it? Or is it uploaded automatically?
All the best
Damien.

Damien,
You can set up any number of new folders in your existing drop box at the
same level as the eSpeak one. You now own the Dropbox account that is on
your PC.
I did try to set up a second account once but Drop box always tries to place
itself in the "my documents" folder and so it refused to download for me
when it discovered a dropboxfolder already there. . You could try setting up
the new folders first and see if that gives you the storage that you are
looking for.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know if you can have more than one free account with drop box?
I have drop box on my desktop where I receive updates from the e-speak
project, but, I have a family event coming up and I'm having photos, videos
etc sent from a family member in Canada. Obviously, I don't want these to go
to the e-speak group, but, am not sure what I need to do. Do I need to set
up another drop box account as I was invited into the e-speak one?
All the best
Damien.
