How do I use the Digital Dropbox?
Students can use the Digital Dropbox in Blackboard to submit assignments to an instructor. To use the Digital Dropbox, the student should go to Tools, and then click Digital Dropbox. There are two options: Add File and Send File. Using Add File simply adds the file into the Student’s dropbox – it does not submit it to the instructor. The student must then use Send File to submit an added file to the instructor. The Send File option can be used to simultaneously add and send a file to an instructor. A student can remove added files from the Dropbox. However, once a file has been submitted to the instructor, the Remove button is no longer available; the student cannot remove files submitted to the instructor from the Digital Dropbox.
