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.
