OneDrive - Creating a Dropbox

Using OneDrive, you can create a dropbox where users can upload files, but cannot see or edit the files which are already there.

Create the dropbox folder

1. Select the Office 365 app launcher
2. Choose OneDrive from the list of apps
   
3. Select the New button in the top left of the screen
4. Choose Folder from the menu
   
5. Name the folder
   You can name the folder whatever you would like, but using a naming convention like “Dropbox for…” would make it easier to find in OneDrive
6. Select the circle to the left of the folder name
7. From the menu at the top of the screen choose Request Files
   
8. In the Request Files for this Folder box enter a description of the files you are requesting, select Next
   
9. Copy the link for the file request, choose Done
   
   You can paste the link where it is available to those who need it or you can send the link via email to specific people in your organization, a group, or to the email of someone outside your organization.
   
    
10. You will be notified that your file request was created.
