BUS 501 Term Projects Online @ Dropbox 4/20/09    Posted: Apr 20, 2009 On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 9:04 AM, David Chavez wrote: Jim, The presentations from Tues, Apr 14, 2009 are posted on Dropbox. I put them in a folder called "Spring 2009 Semester" inside of the "Public" folder on your Dropbox. Note that your Dropbox account's storage space is about half full right now. I'd recommend either removing last semester's presentations (and of course storing them on your own hard drive or other media in a different folder if you want to keep them long-term) or upgrading your dropbox account from 2gb to 50gb (which costs $99 per year and is easy to do at www.getdropbox.com). This way, you can be sure you don't suddenly run out of space by accident during this semester's presentations. Dave See Related :  http://www.getdropbox.com
