Creating request for file (Drop Box)
This process is equivalent to the old Drop_Box folder used for students handing in files. Use this method to request files from your students. Folder layout is completely up to you.
Click into the class program code you want to work with
Once inside, create a new folder and name it. Example here is Project 1
Click on newly created folder but do not open it
Click on the Action button then select Create file request
In this window, setup your file request by setting expiration times, custom message etc. Here is what I set for this example.
Once you have all the settings set, scroll back to the top and copy the Sharing Link URL. You will then send this URL to your students in an email
Click Save
Create collaboration area
Here we will out line how to setup a Folder that all your students can read and write files to.
Click into the class program code you want to work with
Once inside, create a new folder and name it. Example here is Collaboration (can be named anything)
Select the new Collaboration folder and then click on the Action button

In the User or group field, enter the name of your class. Example PHAR-102-07L. You will see a list of classes. Hover your over the first and then second result. The first one is usually the instructor group (end in -i) and the second one is the student group (ends in -s). Select the 2nd, student group.
