Shared projects in Dropbox

When a project is shared with you via Dropbox, you will find it in the directory Apps/VEXcode VR, then sorted into a folder by class, as shown here.

Each project will share two files – a VEXcode VR project (.vrblocks or .vrpython) that you can open in VEXcode VR and run, and a PDF of the project.

Note: In this example, 'My Class' is the name of the Class in VEXcode VR.

Shared projects in Google Drive

When a project is shared with you via Google Drive, you will find it in the VEXcode VR folder, then sorted into a folder by class, as shown here.

Each project will share two files – a VEXcode VR project (.vrblocks or .vrpython) that you can open in VEXcode VR and run, and a PDF of the project.

Note: In this example, 'Period 5' is the name of the Class in VEXcode VR.

In addition to the project file (a .vrblocks or .vrpython file) that can be opened and run in VEXcode VR, you will also receive a PDF of the project.

The first page contains students' names and identifying information, along with any notes they submit. It will also show an image of the Playground when the project was stopped, so you can view the result of the project on the Playground, as shown in this example.

The remaining pages will show a print out of the project, including any notes included in the project.
