A group-enabled Drop Box allows you to submit an assignment on behalf of your group members. Therefore, only one group member should be assigned the task of submitting the assignment. Once the assignment is uploaded, the Drop Box will show that the file has been uploaded by you on behalf of your group. When your group members visit the Drop Box page, they will also see that the assignment has been uploaded for them.
