Hi Gary, One way to do this is to have your friend send a drop box link for the file to you by text or email. Have your friend find the file in his drop box folder on his mac and get a "contextual menu" on it, the command is "control option shift with down arrow" and from that contextual menu choose "copy drop box link. That will copy a link to the file to his clip board and then he can paste it in to a email or text it to you. Then you click on his link to the file and go and retrieve it. :) HTH Chuck "God does not play dice with the universe" "Albert Einstein’
