Hi Clive, In Dropbox just put it in the "Public" folder and under application menu click "copy public link" and it is in your clipboard automatically. Just use ctrl v in your message to place it in the message.

I can't fathom out why people don't use Dropbox more. 1: Drag file into dropbox folder. 2: Right click on file and select "share dropbox link". 3: CTRL-V (ie: paste) the link, which is now in the clipboard, into the email. 3 familiar actions, no spyware.
