Discovering and archiving decades worth of writing: How 89-year-old Marvin uses Dropbox

My grandfather, Marvin, is a lawyer by trade but a creative writer at heart. At 89 years old, he's written over 50 pieces - but over the years, many of them have gotten lost in filing cabinets and piles around his house. With his newly created Dropbox account ready to go, we set out to find, scan, and archive all of his writing. His work now has a single home that keeps it safe, and we were even able to self-publish many essays, poems, and short stories on his newly created website by sending shared links to a web designer across the country.
