• I tried to register for an MIT Dropbox for Business account and it gave me this error: "According to our records, you are not a current MIT student, faculty member, or staff member."

Context

  • MIT's license for Dropbox for Business grants Dropbox accounts for MIT faculty, students, staff, and special exceptions.
  • If your account is not listed as MIT faculty, student, or staff, you cannot sign up for an invitation at http://dropbox.mit.edu.

Answer

  • If you are working on MIT business and need to have an MIT Dropbox for Business account, have the MIT faculty or staff member that you are working with send email to accounts@mit.edu requesting a Dropbox invitation for you.
