Right click, go to the dropbox sub menu, choose 'Copy Public Link' That link you can send to anyone and they can view it.

In Dropbox if you select show deleted files it may reveal your public folder? Mike Comments The only way you can include the file in your APP from Dropbox is if the file is in a Public folder.

chris1 Code is Art Posts: 3862 Reg: Aug 10, 2012 Austin, TX 50,120	01/30/13 02:41 PM (12 years ago) Here's what I do: 1) Share the file using dropbox.com using the "share link" button 2) When you click it, it will bring up a new page for just that file. 3) Close the popup box that appears on the new page, and then right-click on the "download" button at the top. 4) Copy the link and you should be good.

SmugWimp Smugger than thou... Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	01/30/13 02:59 PM (12 years ago) Dropbox 'dropped' public folders. Not entirely sure why; it was the main reason I have a DB account... When I registered a DB for my company, I had to create a new one from scratch. Create a new folder within dropbox. select the folder; right click. 'share this folder'. It will take you to the web where you finish configuration in your DB account on their website.
