How to Find the URL for a File in Dropbox
Dropbox is a file storage and syncing service. When you install Dropbox on your computer, the program creates a Dropbox folder. The Dropbox service syncs the files you add to this folder so they are accessible online. When you install Dropbox on additional computers, the files will remain in sync across devices. Dropbox allows you to easily share files, giving you a permanent URL for each. In order to obtain a file's shareable URL it must be in Dropbox's Public folder.
