How to Create a Link to a Dropbox Folder
Dropbox is a file-syncing service. The utility allows you to store files in a "Dropbox" folder on your computer, and the files are immediately synced to the Dropbox server and replicated on any other machines or mobile devices you have connected to your Dropbox account. This service allows you to easily keep two machines in constant sync, as well as access your data from the website. In order to create a link to a folder in your Dropbox, you must share that folder. Sharing the folder sends out a link to the desired recipients, giving them access to the folder and its contents.
