Set Up Assignment Dropbox

If you do not use Online Campus Community, to set up assignment dropbox, we recommend you install NetClassroom before you install Faculty Access for the Web. When you install NetClassroom, the install creates the Assignment Dropbox directory. The default location is C:\Program Files\Blackbaud\Assignment Dropbox. Then, save the location of your NetClassroom URL.

When you install Faculty Access for the Web, you enter the NetClassroom URL on the NetClassroom Web Address screen. When the install finishes, you can now enable dropbox for users in Faculty Access for the Web.

Tip: Before users can use the assignment dropbox, you also need to set up the permissions on the Assignment Dropbox directory. For permissions information, see Set Up Security on Windows Server 2008 or Set Up Security on Windows Server 2003.

If you enter the wrong URL when you install Faculty Access for the Web or if you install Faculty Access for the Web before NetClassroom, you can still set up assignment dropbox.

Edit your Faculty Access for the Web web.config file. Add the following line to the <appSettings> section. Make sure you replace "NetClassroomServerName" with the actual name of your server.
  <add key="NetClassroomURL" value="http://NetClassroomServerName/NetClassroom7/" /> <!—- NetClassroom virtual directory needed for Dropbox feature -->
If you rename the NetClassroom dropbox directory, you need to edit your registry. At the following location edit the String Value field AssignmentDropboxPath. Set its value to your dropbox directory, such as C:\Program Files\Blackbaud\Assignment Dropbox.
