Link Content Items to Dropbox

You can create links within your course that go directly to the Dropbox so students know exactly how and where to submit each individual assignment. You must first create a Dropbox basket for a content item before students can submit assignments to that Dropbox basket.

Please note, Dropbox baskets cannot be created for Exams, Threaded Discussions, or Custom Content Item types.


To Link a Content Item to Dropbox

Step 1: In the navigation tree, click on the content item that you want to link to Dropbox.

Step 2: From the Visual Editor toolbar, click Add a link.

Step 3: Select Link to a Course Tool, and then click Continue.

Step 4: In the Text to display field, type your link text. This is the text students click on to open Dropbox and submit their assignment.

Step 5: In the Tool to link to field, select Dropbox.

Step 6: Click Add Link. The link is added to the Content Item. When students view this content item, they can click on the link text you specified and the Dropbox opens. Once in the Dropbox, students must select the basket to which they're submitting work.

Step 7: Click Save Changes.
