Using file-sharing services to collaborate

When you use a file repository such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box, you are storing your files outside of Moodle. This is a great way to collaborate. However, be aware that only with Google Docs, can you push files up into the cloud. If you use the Dropbox and Box.net repositories, you can only pull files down into Moodle. You will need to go outside of Moodle to push files up into those repositories. It is a good idea to use file-sharing services as well when collaborations continue beyond the time and scope of the course.
