FAQ: Dropbox (Assignments)

Dropbox (Assignments)

I can't download an assignment file a student has posted. Why not?

If the filename includes one or more of the following characters, or if there is a space before the filename, the student can upload it but you will not be able to download it:

“ ” * / : ; < > ? \ | ‘ ’ & #

If this is the case, ask your student to rename the file and re-submit it.
