Environment

U-M Dropbox

Issue

How do I install the Dropbox application on my computer and mobile devices (U-M and non-UM)?

Resolution 

Before installing the Dropbox application on your device, you must log in to dropbox.umich.edu to create your U-M Dropbox account if you have not done so already.

To install Dropbox on your device, determine which type of device you have and follow the corresponding instructions:

• MiWorkspace Computer: If MiWorkspace manages your computer, you can download Dropbox from the Software Center (Windows/PC) or Managed Software Center (Mac).
• Personal Computer or Other Non-MiWorkspace Computer: To install Dropbox on a computer that MiWorkspace does not manage, refer to Dropbox's installation page for instructions. (For Linux machines, refer to https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux.)
• iOS Device (iPhone, iPad, etc.): You can install Dropbox from the Apple App Store.
• Android Device: You can install Dropbox from the Google Play store.

Refer to Article ID: 6391 for instructions on signing into the Dropbox desktop app.
