The Tedious Task of Setting up the Dropbox

Before the school year had begun I decided I would use a combination of UPad and Dropbox as the primary means of work-flow, or the handing out and retrieving of assignments. But this created a question for me: do I want each individual student to create a folder on Dropbox and then share it with me and their parents? Or, do I want to make the folders myself and then share with them. The bonus for me making and sharing the folders is that I gain extra storage space for every new Dropbox account that comes from my referral. On the other hand, it's extremely tedious sharing folders over and over and over again. There's 50 students combined in my two IPad classes; that's a lot of copying and pasting of e-mail addresses.

But, I'm a sucker for free stuff. I went the tedious route. Now, we'll see if people actually check their e-mails, and how many of the emails from Dropbox end up in spam folders.
