Hi Leslie, Personally I have never had any luck sending anything in the Public folder unless it has been zipped up. So, after zipping up the file, try the following; 1. Copy / Cut the zipped up file into your Public folder & wait until it has been loaded into the folder. 2. Close the Pubblic folder & close Dropbox. Depending on the size of the file you are sharing it might take a little time for the file to upload. To check the status of the upload, press Insert / Jaws key + F11, for the system tray, arrow down to Dropbox, & wait until Jaws reads all files up to date. 3. After Dropbox says all files up to date then do the following: 1.A. Open the "My Dropbox" folder. 2.B. Open the "Public" folder. 3.C. 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.D. Now, create a new email for whoever you want to have this Dropbox file. 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. Have the recipients of the file choose the save option when they get the download dialog box.
Hope this helps. Take care.
