Thanks Rick, you rock. I need more help since I'm still not getting it
after
reading online. So I installed dropbox onto my computer and when entering
on
drop box there is getting started, public and photos. So, do I copy and
paste the file into the aforementioned folder in the dropbox ICON that is
on
the desktop? Or do I go online to do all of this?

Hi Kimsan,
Disregard the drag and drop, and just use copy and paste.
HTH,

Mike:
How do I put a file into the public folder? It says to drag and drop and
I
don't know how to do that.

Hi Kimsan
Getting started with Dropbox
Welcome to Dropbox!
Unlike other programs, Dropbox doesn't have a complicated interface to
learn. It's built right into your desktop! Here's how to get started:
Step 1: Drag and drop any file or folder into your Dropbox folder.
Step 2: Once your file/folder is inside your Dropbox folder, the program
immediately starts syncing it to our secure servers. Once this has
finished, the file's icon is marked with a green check. Your file is now
safely backed up online and also accessible from the Dropbox website.
(http://www.getdropbox.com)
Step 3: Install Dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com/install) on other
computers you use, and they'll also receive a copy of the files you've
put
in your Dropbox.
That's it! Now that Dropbox is watching your file, any changes you
make
will sync up instantly and automatically. This gives you the freedom to
work on any computer you choose. For more help adding files to Dropbox,

Using the Public folder.
The Public Folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox.
Any
file in you put in this folder gets its own Internet link so that you can
share it with others-- even non-Dropbox users! These links work even if
your computer's turned off.
Step 1: Drop a file into the Public folder.
Step 2: Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy
Public Link. This copies the Internet link to your file so that you can
paste it somewhere else.
That's it! You can now share this file with others: just paste the link
you
into e-mails, instant message conversations, blogs, etc.!
If you'd like more help with sharing files, head here:

Happy Dropboxing!

Note: You can only link to actual files within your Public Folder, not to
folders.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike
