Hi Samson Below are 2 ways to create an http link.
Example #1, using the file menu; 1. You select / highlight the file in your dropbox\public folder and press the alt+f key to bring up the files menu. 2. Down arrow to dropbox and press enter. arrow down to copy public link and press enter. 3. Then you can then paste the link in to an email message. Example#2, using the application key / context menu; Wait till Dropbox says all files up to date then: 1. Open the "My Dropbox" folder. 2. Open the "Public" folder. 3. Select the file, press the applications key, down arrow or press d for "Dropbox", open the submenu with right arrow or enter, down arrow or press c until you hear "Copy Public Link". Press enter on " Copy Public Link ". By pressing enter right here, you have created a link that has been copied to the clipboard by the Dropbox program. 4. Now, create a new email for whoever you want to have this Dropbox file sent to. After you have addressed the email and written whatever message in the edit field, press your paste keystroke, control + V, and the download link will be pasted into the email. When whoever gets the email, all they have to do is click on the link and a download dialogue box will open to download the file. Hope this helped. Take care.

I am a new comer to dropbox. So far I have managed to create an account, put some files in the dropbox public folder which I found on My documents folder. I also followed the instructions how to put a file in the public folder. I would be very happy if some one can tell me how to create a HTTP web link for this files. Because when I go on the web and enter my public folder, all the files that I put are there, but they still have the normal extentions, such as: letter.txt or song.mp3. Thank you.
