I don't know anything about Drop Box but I can help you with Zipping. if you're using Windows, I'd suggest getting Win Zip, which is free. Once you've installed it, Go to the folder that you want to zip but don't open it, just leave it highlighted. Then, hit applications (or shift f10 if you don't have an aps key) and down arrow until you hear "Win Zip sub menu). Hit enter on that and then you'll hear "add to foldername.zip" where foldername will be substituted with the real name of the folder to be zipped. Hit enter and it will automatically zip it for you. Then, look where you have the folder stored. For example, if it's in My Documents, you should see a folder with the same name only it will say .zip if you have your computer set up to display file extentions. If not, then try opening it. If Win Zip comes up, then close the program and you know that you've found the newly zipped folder. If not, type the first letter of the name of the folder again and the second one should be the zipped one. You could also simply run a search for it by going to search from the start menu and then typing in it's name, being sure to add .zip at the end. Don't worry about the path, since the name will do fine. In your results, you should see it and you can copy it etc.
It's way! easier with DOS and PKZip but since I'm sure that your using a Windows machine and that files aren't in the root directory of C, finding the shortened name of the subdirectory that Windows uses can be a headache. But for anyone else who may want it, here's the command. Trish, feel free to ignore this, as your directions are the first ones. "Pkzip c:\foldername c:" or the final C can be replaced with A, B or any other drive name depending on the destination of the file.
