2. For Southern Circuit 2012/2013 we will be using
Dropbox to deliver promotional materials from
filmmakers to all screening venues.
If you are unfamiliar with Dropbox, we have
prepared this tutorial to assist you.
3. Step 1:
Dropbox will send an email inviting you to use a shared folder for your film.
The email will look like the image below. If you do not receive this email
please check your spam folders and then call us to be sure that we have
your correct email address.
Step 2:
Click on the View Film Title link within the email. Your folder name will be
your film title.
4. Step 3:
When you click the link in the email, it will open up the Dropbox sign-in page in your
internet browser.
Step 4:
If you have a Dropbox account, enter your information and sign in.

If you do not have a Dropbox account then you will need to click
the create an account link shown below. It only takes a name, log-in
and password to get an account.
5. Step 5:
Clicking this link will bring up the Create an account screen below.
Enter your information and click Create account.
6. Step 6:
Below is an example of what the home screen will look like once you
are logged in. To be able to view your shared folder, click on the
Sharing link on the left (it should have a red “1” floating beside it).
7. Step 7:
The Sharing screen will look like the image below. Click the
envelope icon that says 1 new shared folder invitation.
8. Step 8:
The dialogue box below will appear. You should see our folder,
Southern Circuit. Click Accept.
9. Step 9:
If your film’s folder doesn’t open automatically click the folder name, Film Title .
Step 10:
This folder is where you should upload all of your marketing materials. You can upload
images, videos, and word documents into this folder. To upload a file, click the upload
icon, click Choose files and select the file or files from your computer
10. Step 11:
After you upload your image, video, or document, you should see the file
listed in your film folder. Now I will be able to transfer that file to the folder
for your venues. After I move your file it will no longer be visible in your film
folder.
