Hi again,
Well what I meant to say in regards to the drop box is, I just used the send
space as an example, you don't use send space for drop box.
And another thing is, like if I sent you an email of something in my drop
box, it would give you a link to download it, but you do not have to have
the drop box installed.
There now that makes more sense...
Have a good evening er what's left of it,lol
Trish

Yes. Compressing is the same. But I don't have that option in my
version of Win Zip. I think Windows itself has that option, so that
may have been what you used. In any case, the same applies about
looking for the zipped folder. Thanks for the description of Drop
Box. It certainly made sense. Let us know if you have any more
questions.
Take care,
Eleni

Hi ya,
um, I first looked in the applications key and didn't find it, it's
always
there when I need to unzip though..
Well I compressed it, is that the same thang?
Drop box is just a method of sharing something with someone else who has
the
same program like you would send them a send space link of something you
uploaded. This can be more private or personal like if you wanted to send
someone something just to them y'all would share a folder with each
other's
name in your drop box, so when one of you uploads something, it will go
to
that person's folder from the other person. I hope that made sense it
does
to me,lol

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.
Good luck,
Eleni
