Are you tired of having to run to your instructor's office to drop your homework before the deadline? Worried about the poor security features of the cardboard boxes sitting in the hallway? Or perhaps you need a quick and easy way for your teammate/research partner to send you a large file? Then you should be interested in Rhea's dropboxes.

Originally proposed by Prof. Bouman, dropboxes are a Rhea feature that has been developed by Zach Mason as a mediawiki extension. You can drop electronic files into the personal dropbox of any Rhea user. Since anybody with a Purdue account can become a Rhea user (just by loggin in), this means you now have a painless way to share files with pretty much anybody at Purdue.

Retriving the files from your dropbox is straightforward. Just go to your dropbox (first login and then click here) and click on the files you wish to download. The login name of the person who dropped the file, along with the date/time it was dropped, are written next to each file.
