Sending Packages to a Dropbox

If you are a member of a dropbox and have the proper permissions, follow the steps below to send a package to a dropbox.

Select New Package and select the dropbox you wish to send a package to from the drop-down menu.
Selecting Normal Package takes you to the New Package form. For more information on sending a normal package, see Sending a New Package.
Note: If the New Package button does not open a drop-down menu, you do not have permission to send to any dropboxes. If you don't see the New Package button at all, your account does not have permission to send users or to dropboxes.

Note: You do not have access to the To and To (private) fields, because you are sending to a designated dropbox.
