How to download the Dropbox Application / Client.

Resolution

You can access Dropbox via a web browser or File Explorer or Finder. If you would like to use local Office applications with U-M Dropbox, such as Word, you have to install the Dropbox desktop application.

  • If you have a personal computer, you can install Dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/install
  • If you have a MiWorkspace computer, you can self install Dropbox via Software Center
  • Michigan Medicine made the Dropbox application available to all CoreImage PCs through the Software Center. Visit the Michigan Medicine Help Center for instructions on downloading Dropbox (UMICH Level-2 credentials required for access). CoreMac users should download the application through https://www.dropbox.com/install. Michigan Medicine customers can contact HITS at https://help.medicine.umich.edu for additional support. 

See Dropbox: Signing Into the Desktop Application / Client for instructions on how to sign into the Dropbox application / client.
