You'll find the option to create a link to a file perfectly accessible, firstly you need to put the file into your Dropbox public folder.
Select the file you wish to create a link to in the finder and go into the context menu with vo-shift-m, from the options select "Dropbox" and from here select "Copy public link", now the link to the file is copied to your clipboard and you can paste it where you want it, email, word processing document etc. On 01/02/2011, at 10:01 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > I had to get my sighted husband's assistance with the setup window and > logging in.
