I've had no trouble having folks get an MP3 file, I've even streamed
one off Drop Box when my site was having issues. I have noticed
however those using an AOL browser have difficulties streaming files
giving a .bin file type or some such weirdness. But that holds true
for my own site as well as Drop Box, not sure what is up with that browser.

Hi Jacob & Stewart;
There are 2 things to remember when using the Dropbox Public folder, at
least without doing these 2 things I haven't been able to get an upload to
the Public folder to work.
1. Whatever file you put into the Public folder to share, make sure you ,
zip it up!
2. Before going to the Dropbox option via the applications / context menu
key or, the file menu to copy the public linkt, make sure the file is fully
uploaded.
To check on the file status;
1. Press Insert / Jaws key + F11, for the system tray.
2. Press the letter D, for Dropbox, & make sure it says, all files up to
date.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike

Under my documents, I will hit enter on dropbox - also find it on my
desktop, and then after having pasted something into public folder, I would
then right click on specific item, arrow down to dropbox submenu, and then
hit enter on copy public link.
Stay well
