Hi Ed > Folder- way doesn't work. So sadly nothing seems to working.
I think that the help article you quoted may be misleading. I've one of the original Dropbox accounts, which always supported a "Public" folder, and it definitely allows HTML files hosted in the public folder to make relative references to files in subfolders. I think the problem with the article is that they teach people to generate the link when in fact links to content in the public folder are just a prefix attached to the relative file path. > As I wil need quite pictures that might bloat the file quite a bit. Present estimate is about 120 - 150 (very rough estimate) could be more. Ouch, that might be getting a little large. At 50KB per image that's over 7MB binary, which would expand when encoded in base64 in the TW HTML file. On reasonable computers, people seem to be getting along fine with TW files up to 10MB or so, assuming a decent internet connection. Another option might be to host the images elsewhere, if they are not private. For example, I believe that Flickr provides a URI that can be used for embedding an image elsewhere. > Jeremy, would that create in any way a problem knowing that eventually, in the farther future, I want it to be a website under its own domain name? Speed problems. loading time problems, whatever? I value your advice very much as you are the TW-Kahuna. You'd always be able to change things back to externally linked images in the future, which would generally perform better. Best wishes Jeremy.
