This page shows you how to share files stored in your Dropbox.com account.
You won't be able to submit data until you have a formal deposit agreement.
If you haven't yet started the deposit process, see How to deposit with the EIDC
1. Sign in to your account on dropbox.com.
2. Click on Files in the left hand menu.
3. In your files, create a new folder. Name the folder with the EIDC deposit reference you have been provided (e.g. EIDCHELP-1234X)
4. Add the files you wish to deposit to the folder. Include both the data files and any supporting documents.
PLEASE NOTE: We will only accept files you have previously agreed to supply in your deposit agreement.
5. Hover over the folder and a "Copy link" option will be displayed - click it
6. Copy the link that is subsequently displayed
7. Send this link to info@eidc.ac.uk . Please include the deposit reference in the email's subject line
We will let you know when we've finished transferring the data to our secure servers.

Sharing files with us in this way means we will be able to access them and make copies but we won't be able to change or delete them.
