1. Can I have this Drop box folder under my D drive? Is it simply cutting and pasting the Drop box folder from my C drive to the D drive or does it have to be done in some other way? *** To change your dropbox folder do the following: click on the system tray by pressing insert+f11 Choose dropbox and then choose prefferences. Then press tab. use jaws cursor you will find change option. there select the relevant folder then press okay and you should be ready to go. 2. Do we have to save our files and folders only under the Public folder which was by default created under the drop box folder for them to get automatically uploaded and updated? Or can we also create and save private files and folders under the drop box folder itself for them to get uploaded and updated? *** You can create as many folders and files on dropbox it doesn't matter. The public folder is especially created to share the public link for your friends to download files. Once a file is pasted in public folder you can copy the Link and share with your friends when the upload is complete and they will be able to download it. 3. Are our files and folders that we create and save under the public folder which is of course under the drop box folder freely and openly accessible by all and sundry on the net? I hope not! *** Sure not. the files can be opened to only to those whom you will share the link with. and no one else will be able to open the files. Samuel
