DROPitTOme is a FREE site which coordinates with Drop Box to allow you to accept files from other people. If you want assignments turned in electronically (or need to receive files from others), but have no way to do that, here's your solution. All you have to do is give them the upload link and password. For more information, see the Free Technology for Teachers post where I found this. Mr. Byrne has included a good description and video tutorials.

The Free Technology for Teachers blog is one of my favorites, so even if you aren't interested in DROPitTOme, check it out!

QDrive.net provides 1G of space for free. Files can be securely transferred. You can Tweet a file by simply clicking "Tweet File to send a download link straight to Twitter. Files will be completely compatible across all operating systems, according to the site. The site has a more complete description of features, which vary by type of account.

An article on Tech Republic alerted me to this downloadable app which allows you to use the space available with your Gmail account for file storage. It's downloadable from SOFTPEDIA. After installation, GMail Drive will show up in My Computer like any other storage media. Uploaded files will show up in the list of emails in gmail with a subject line of GMAILFS: with the name of the file, so they will be accessible even if you are not on your home computer.
