Like anything else it takes a bit of getting used to but once you do it a few times it is SUPER fast and you will see 1000 applications, including getting digitals to clients!
So NOW you have Dropbox either using it online, on your mobile (YES, you can have access to them even on your iPhone or Android), or installed on your computer.
SCREEN ONE will look like this when you open it
Above the Blue Bar you will see 4 Icons First is UPLOAD
Second is + New Folder
Third is Share Folder
FOR The Sake of The Gold Hope Documents, let's look at the Photographers one
CLICK ON THE PHOTOGRAPHERS Folder
Notice ABOVE the blue bar the same 5 icons appear!!!!
The Bar itself has 3 words Name Kind and Modified
When it populates you see all the documents we have at this point for you to access and use.
There is one major thing to remember before we proceed.
Whatever you do outside of downloading to this Shared Folder, it happens to the folder itself. That means if you delete the Postcard back, it is gone for everyone! So just remember for the sake of these Shared items you only need to do the next step and that is download.
CLICK once on the item you want to download until it is blue
NOTICE when you highlighted the item you wanted, the Blue Bar now has the words
The name of the item highlighted, Share link, Download, Delete (EEP), Rename, Move, More
Please only click Download from here!
NOW if you want to learn a bit more about Dropbox continue reading, if not, THANK YOU for taking a moment to read how to access this wonderful information!

OK so You want to share a Folder, Create a Folder, and Upload to your Created Folder!
Let's Create a Folder
Click on + New Folder, second icon above the blue bar
You will see that it Automatically opens a white box to name your Folder
I named mine My Stuff
Let's add some items in our folder so double click over the folder you want to add information to.
This is empty so we need to add some stuff
Click on the First button above the Blue Bar that has a blue arrow pointing up UPLOAD
This new box above opens and you locate files the way that you normally would on an upload.
____________________________________________________________________________
So you have these folders and now you need to share one with someone!!
Over here to this side see Sharing and a rainbow? CLICK IT
NOW YOURS above will be blank, but because I share Folders with you all you can see mine.
What do you do if you don't have any to share yet? See that BLUE box upper right hand and it has a little smiley in it. New Shared Folder - CLICK that and then this pops up!
You have 2 options here one is the top and it is I'd like to create and share a new folder
Under is a white box to name your folder
I named mine, I want to share this folder - Click Next
Here you type in the email address of the person you want to share it with, OR if you had already shared with people, your preferred list of names will pop up by name and by email address.
Then Click Share Folder -
NOW because you created a new Folder there is NO information in it. You will have to go back into the Dropbox folder and add information as we showed previously.
OPTION Two - I'd like to share an existing folder. Click Next
Here you have all your folders as an option for sharing.
Click it once to highlight it and Click Next.
And here we are adding the address of the person we would like to share with!

SO go to one of your items in a folder and highlight it.
You have 4 options here for sharing
