How to Store and Share Media Files
Please use your CUNY accounts with Dropbox, or One Drive in Office 365, to store and share media files. You can then distribute the links to the files in your Blackboard course. Directions below.
To find your CUNY Dropbox and One Drive accounts, go to baruch.cuny.edu for the Quick Links dropdown menu. There you will find Dropbox, and Office 365 for OneDrive.
Sign in with your CUNY credentials.
Note: If using Office 365’s One Drive, after signing in there should appear several app icons listed on the left column of the page. If you do not see One Drive among them, click on the “app launcher”, the icon that looks like a grid of 9 dots and is just above the “Home” button. Doing this will reveal the OneDrive app.
Both Dropbox and One Drive allow you to set permissions, disable downloading, set an expiration date, and have password protection.
