Hi Kimsan;
After you put a file into your Public folder don't close Dropbox. You
need
the main folder to be open so the file will upload to the Dropbox server.
If you want to share a particular file / folder with someone, look in
your
system tray and make sure that the Dropbox thinga aJig says that all
files
are up to date. If it doesn't say " All files are up to date " before
you
copy your shortcut link for this file the person you send the link to
will
get an error message when they click on the link to try and download the
file.
Mike,
It's tax time! Remember folks, if you add, IRS to the word, the, you get
"T
H E I R S ". That spells THEIRS!

Hey all you need to do is copy and paste into the public folder or a
shared folder you created. And only installs on your desktop. You'll se
the desktop item and also in your sys tray.
