It's not MAC related really, but you guys are up to date on all this stuff, so I thought I would ask here.
I'm teaching a class of about 6 students soon where we will be doing a lot of writing and re-writing, big and small projects. We have access to computers at school (which get wiped every night - all files and programs added during each day to keep viruses out). I can't change that. I'm looking for a simple solution.
I would like to have the students put their writing in a place where all of us can access and amend the documents. I"ve got a Dropbox already, but if I give them access to a folder can they add files as well as change files? That's what we will need. I can't test it because I haven't access to the student computers yet. Also, they may all be on at once, but only changing their own files. So far my thinking is web based only Dropbox or Google Drive or?? or individual usb sticks. That's as far as my knowledge goes and I don't know where to look for a solution other than here. I've been reading the help files of Dropbox and Google Drive, but can't see the solution for me.
If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know. Thanks for your help.
