I'm looking for some information regarding file storage for both teachers and students. What type of file storage does your school provide?
I'd like to offer some sort of online file storage. I'm exploring Drop Box, School Web Lockers, eBackpack, Google Apps, and Edmodo as options.
Has anyone used any of these options for file storage for a large number of teachers and students? Does anyone know of other online file storage options that are school-friendly I should be considering?
I look forward to your feedback.
Thanks!
Matt

I use DropItTo.me all the time. It give you a free url that links to your Dropbox account. Students log in (I have it password protected) to my url (dropitto.me/mrcasal) and then upload files which get instantly placed into my Dropbox folder. It's great for days when I'm out and a sub is running the lesson in my lab, I have students turn in their work at the end of the period, regardless of where they are in the assignment, so I can have a quick idea of everyone's progress.
In general, we use Google Docs for teachers to collaborate on assessments and student data tracking, things the administration needs to see. Dropbox is for teachers to share multi-format files as well as students turning in work without needing an individual account.
