Questions Addressed

• How do I exchange files using the Campus ACMS FileDrop ("Drop Box") service? How do I exchange files using the Campus ACMS FileDrop ("Drop Box") service?

The ACMS FileDrop service is an easy way to exchange large files. Although the service is primarily for exchanging files with users not affiliated with UCSD you can use this service with anyone.

Note: Files are limited to 4GB in size. Drop Boxes automatically expire after 6 months, or sooner if your primary email account is removed from UC San Diego or ACMS servers. Uploaded files will expire after some period of time. (Files over 1GB would probably expire more quickly than smaller uploads.)
