Hi Ray, Oh, i'm sorry, I thought you had a Dropbox account. Yes, you will need to go http://www.getdropbox.com
Once there, download the Dropbox for the Mac and then install it. This can be tricky, so you might need sighted assistance for this. Frown, the hardest part about the install is getting to the continue button after Dropbox has installed and asked you to create an account. I'm not sure why this is so difficult, but it is. ANyway once it is installed, it will be in the finder as I described in my previous message. Once you have it installed, you can just copy and paste files to the public folder within your dropbox. All you need to do to link to a file you have placed there is go in the public folder and interact with the table. Select the file you want and THen hit VO shift M as in Mary and go to dropbox submenu. Hit VO Space and then arrow down till you get to copy public link. Hit enter and then you can just paste the link that is copied in to your message. You can of course insert a link by using command K. I hope this has helped. Have a wonderful evening. Musically, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!
