Hey Michael,I haven't had that issue. I'll give exact details about how I make files public but it sounds like you may already be aware of how it is supposed to work.
This is where the public folder is located on my machine: C:\Users\Ian Reed\Dropbox\PublicI place a file in it, then in Windows Explorer I right click on the file and go to the dropbox sub menu.
Then I choose the Copy public link option. Then I paste the link which has been put in my clipboard into an email. Sorry I can't be more help than that. Ian Reed On 4/17/2013 12:42 PM, michael Tholl wrote:
Hi everyone, This is somewhat off topic, but I'm having a real issue with using dropbox. I can't seem to make a file public, so that it can be downloaded by others. I've looked at the helps, and thought I'd followed the directions, but I still seem to be having an issue with making things downloadable. I'm using jaws 14 on a windows7 64 machine if that helps. To tie this into the actual content of the mailing list, this is the method I'd planned to use whenver I finished my map pack, since sendspace has a 300mb limit, and I can upload way more on dropbox. The real problem is, on my computer, I don't seem to have a public folder in the drop box folder. I seem to be able to generate a link for posting, but the download doesn't seem to be working. If anyone has had this issue and solved it, or has suggestions on what I can do, or an alternative site, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks Michael
