Environment

U-M Dropbox

Issue

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 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.
