To answer your question about what it does with out the dl link, it will pull 
up a web page that you have to find and click the dl link or the put in dropbox 
link, but since not all of my peeps have dropbox I use the ?dl=1 method so they 
can decide what to do.

RE: dropbox help please

2013-10-12 Thread David Griffith
There should be a Public folder in your DropBox folder.
If you copy and paste the files you want to share into there you should, I
believe, be able to pull up a context menu with share link on it.,
Shift vo M on the file to pull up the context menu.
I mostly get links off my windows machines but I think this works on the Mac
as well.

As I say do not bother with the DropBox app itself. If necessary go to
www.dropbox.com to do any administration.

Another thing you can do is create an alias on the desktop for drop box. What I 
did was go to the folder that Chris mentioned and in the menus create an alias 
and move that to the desktop.

Re: dropbox help please

2013-10-11 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Ok. rout the curser  with cmd vo f5 to the dropbox icon in the extras menu, 
then option click on the icon, that is option and click the mouse pad. You 
don't' really need to open the dropbox icon at all, just copy the files you 
want to your  db folder then vo shift m on them from the db folder, then choose 
share link and such.

If you want the file to be a direct dl link add
?dl=1
to the end of the link.

 I still can't open the dropbox I did everything you said and it won't open.  
 I listened to a podcast which told me to go into system prefs and turn click 
 option 5 ties to turn mouse keys on and off  and followed his instructions to 
 open dropbox but to no avail.  now my old XP computer is freezing when I go 
 into outlook express or on a webb page which is wasn't doing before I 
 installed dropbox.  I just don't know what to do .  Judy

 Judy you use the Dropbox app from the extras menu accessed with vo (control 
 option) m twice. Then press vo left/right arrows until you see Dropbox then 
 press vo space to activate this item. You don't need to use the app to add 
 files and folders to your Dropbox. Simply copy the file(s) and folder(s) 
 with command c, then press command v in your Dropbox folder, located in the 
 home folder, easily accessible with shift command h. To open any file or 
 folder press command o.
