Moving Drop Box items to another folder

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

NOTE: You should not use the Drop Box tool if you have more than 30 students in your course. It will take too long to load and manage. The Assignments Tool is your best option for collecting work.

To copy item(s) from one Drop Box folder to another, follow these steps:

  1. In the menubar of the relevant course or project site, click Drop Box.
  2. Click the black triangles to the left of "Title" to expand all the folders in the Drop Box, or click the folder icon to the left of the name of the folder you wish to expand. (If a folder contains items not currently displayed, a plus sign will appear on the folder icon.)
  3. Mark the checkbox next to the item you want to move. Click Copy Checked. The copied item(s) will become highlighted.
  4. Click Paste Copied Items next to the folder in which you want to paste the item(s).
  5. If you wish to delete the original item, mark the checkbox next to the item in its original location and click Remove Checked.
