Instructions for Using the DPS In-House Dropbox
Windows Users
In the Address bar of My Network Places, enter the address "\\dps1.wiu.edu\DPS-FileTransfer". Click the "Go" button on the right of the Address bar. If a dialog appears asking for a user name and password, enter "guest" (without the quotation marks) in the user name field, and leave the password field blank.
Inside the DPS-FileTransfer folder that appears, customers will find two folders, "DPS-DropBox" and "DPS-PickUpBox". Customers can drop files into DPS-DropBox but cannot see the contents of DPS-DropBox, let alone copy files from DPS-DropBox; likewise, customers can pick up files from DPS-PickUpBox but cannot put files into DPS-PickUpBox.
