Lehigh's Dropbox setup has some features in common with the free personal accounts, but also others that are especially useful for Lehigh users.
SmartSync in Dropbox app
When first rolled out, Dropbox's synchronization program would only synchronize the entire contents of a single folder with an entire online repository. This synchronization work could become quite time-consuming, and also consume large amounts of storage space on the hard drive of the local device. The current app is much smarter, and works much more efficiently with the "SmartSync" feature enabled. LTS has set this feature to be enabled by default, and we recommend you leave it that way.

The app integrates with your operating system's file system, and adds Dropbox status information to your normal file listing windows. Right-click on a file in your Dropbox folder to see tools, and set it's sync status. More info at Dropbox Help.
Team Folders
One of the most important features of Dropbox at Lehigh is the ability to store Lehigh-specific documents in folders that persist beyond any individual user's account. These are called "Team Folders" and are created by LTS staff on request. These folders can be created for any persistent department, team or organization, including research groups, and will continue to grow as Lehigh's use of Dropbox does.
Some may allow you to add files, others may be read-only, and are configured by the assigned directory manager. Contact the HelpDesk or your Computing Consultant to initiate a request for creating or accessing a Team Folder.
