Claiming Your Dropbox Account Is Now Easier!
CUNY is pleased to announce that you can now claim your free Dropbox account by visiting dropbox.cuny.edu and entering your CUNY Login (@login.cuny.edu) credentials. You no longer need an account activation email from Dropbox. After activating your Dropbox account, you can use those credentials to log in at dropbox.cuny.edu or dropbox.com or via the Technology Service pages for faculty and staff.
Dropbox is a workspace that helps you keep all your content in one place, from class syllabi to large research data sets, and makes it easier to work together with students, other faculty and staff, and external partners. Faculty and staff have unlimited storage. Everyone will also have access to Dropbox Paper, which allows co-editing in the same document in real-time.
Please remember that the terms of the Acceptable Use of University Data in the Cloud policy apply to your use of Dropbox and other CUNY cloud solutions.
