However, further updates still just… didn’t appear. All the new files then turned up in a fresh copy of the folder with a different version number. We had got this wrong, but it didn’t look wrong. Key files we needed for meetings didn’t appear for others. We got all the original files shared around, but over the coming weeks the complaints began. Brilliant.Ī few months ago, I started using Dropbox with a new group of people I’m working with, and to facilitate that process, we set up a new Dropbox folder and shared it around.Īt least, thats what we thought we had done, but it just didn’t work. I’ve had a folder set shared across all my various Macs and IOS devices for ages, and I’ve had another folder shared with some colleagues for months – all working perfectly, with file updates from any of us turning up for everyone else. Nothing looked wrong, but updates to the original files we’d shared around never appeared. I use it a lot, and I rely on it a lot.īut I had a real problem with it – sharing a folder with a new work group lately just wouldn’t work. Anyone you send the link to will be able to download/view the file.Dropbox ( ) is an amazingly useful product. Your file is now public and open for anyone to download. A small new window will show up displaying the link to the file you’d probably want to go ahead and click the Copy To Clipboard button afterward so that you have the link ready.
Locate the file and Click the Small Arrow on its right side and Click Copy Public Link. Just go to the Dropbox website and log in. The second method is more work but also works.
The first and easiest method is to just Right-Click the file from Windows Explorer, Click Dropbox inside the Context menu and Click Copy Public Link. You have two options to grab the Public link to the file.
Just wait for the Green checkbox to appear then you know it’s ready to share. Depending on the size of the files, you might need to wait awhile for Dropbox to sync them up to the internet. Make sure you put them in the Public folder so that you can copy a public download link. Once you get the Dropbox folder on your computer, go ahead and copy the files you want to share into the Public folder in your Dropbox folder.
The registration is super simple so you can also just click this link to get rolling with an account. Take a look at this article where I talk about what Dropbox is, and How-To get started. Step 1 – Get a Dropbox if you don’t have one
