Welcome to MyDropBox!

This manual is intended for Supervisors of consortium-level MyDropBox accounts. Due to similarity of the Supervisor and the Account Administrator roles and frequent combination of these roles, this manual is designed as an addition to the Account Administrator Manual. It is highly recommended to review the Account Administrator Manual before reading this document.

This manual will enable you, as a Consortium Supervisor, to:

Register and edit institutional accounts

Create Account Administrator Join Codes

Register and edit user profiles

View advanced usage statistics

As a MyDropBox user, you have a unique user profile containing your contact information, preferences and authorization data – login and password. Your email is used as your login.

Consortium account supervisors have to obtain their login data or Join Codes from MyDropBox representatives.

There are several types of accounts with corresponding user roles in MyDropBox, namely, Supervisor (Consortium Level), Administrator (Institutional Level), Instructor, Teaching Assistant, Student (Course Level) and Parent accounts. You can join several accounts and use them within a single profile, switching from one role to another when you need.

To create a user profile and join an account:

Go to http://mdb2.mydropbox.com/.

Follow the Create Profile link.

Fill in the profile creation form. Please enter a valid email address, as it will be used both as your login and for communication purposes.

At the bottom of the form, enter the Join Code that you received in advance.

Click the Submit button. Your profile data will be emailed to you, and you will be redirected to the Login Page.

To log in:

1. Go to http://mdb2.mydropbox.com/.

2. In the Login form, enter your email address in the Login field and your password in the Password field, and click the Sign In button.

3. You will be forwarded to the homepage of your default account.

To log out:

1. Assuming you are logged in, click the Logout icon in the upper-right corner of any MyDropBox page.
