In dropbox, if you want to share a folder, you can only do it with someone that has a dropbox account. In order to share with someone that doesn't have a dropbox account, you can only link to individual files.

The Public Folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox. Any file you put in this folder gets its own Internet link so that you can share it with others-- even non-Dropbox users! These links work even if your computer’s turned off.
Step 1: Drop a file into the Public folder.
Step 2: Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies the Internet link to your file so that you can paste it somewhere else.
That's it! You can now share this file with others: just paste the link into e-mails, instant message conversations, blogs, etc.!

Note: You can only link to actual files within your Public Folder, not to folders.

Is there a way to view thumbnails of pictures, its a pain in the arse when you cant see what picture you want?

Downloading a whole folder?
To add to this tread, I have a question also. Does anyone know if you can download a whole folder from dropbox to your phone with numerous files inside? Such as ringtones, pics, etc? Or do you have to do them one at a time?
Nevermind, I found that if you create a zip file with all the files in it, it will download it and extract it when downloaded.

After Downloading @ HD7 where can I find download flie?

Hello,
I would like to know how can I find the downloaded files in HTC HD7 with WP7?
I have downloaded files from my hotmail.
It says downloading when download is finish,I can't open the file.
WP said Can't open attachment.
(There's no application associated with this file type)
I'd like to know where this downloaded attached files saved in phone.
I looked for the files by using TouchXplorer but I can't make it at all.
I have Registry Editor, TouchXplorer and my OS version is 7389.
Can someone give me an idea?
Thank in advance!
i think that file can't be accepted with wp7.
yes Ttblondey ,
I am trying to install .ttf , wp7 can't accepted.
But the download was finished.
I wonder if I can find this downloaded file.
I have chance to move to Windows\Fonts folder
The system does not work that way. Once you download an attachment, it gets stored by Outlook in some encrypted, hidden file somewhere that can only be accessed through the e-mail app. If the phone can't read it, then you are pretty much out of luck.
You are not meant to have file system access, so WP7 works very differently than a computer with file system access. Opening files that the OS does not support is not something you can do... yet.

Can someone give me folder location of something?

Can someone find the folder that houses the folders data/com.dropbox.android. I created a folder on my device and when naming it, it also renamed an important folder. Now my thumbnails wont load for dropbox and a few other things were moved. like com.google.android.youtube. Important things. Can some find the folder that those are suppose to be in? Weird how it let me rename it. I try renaming it now and it errors. So im just gonna copy all the files in there and move the to the new CORRECT folder. Please and thank you.
99% of the com.anything folders are located in Android/Data/, so in your case, it would be Android/Data/com.dropbox.android

[Q] how to access download files in windows phone 8??

hi,
today i downloaded a txt file from a email attachment bt i cant find it anywhere same is with zip file does anybody know how to access download folder or how to access these files
Generally speaking, you can't. You can open them again from email, and (for apps which support this) you can save them after opening - for example, a text file that you open in Word can be saved to the Office hub - but the actual temp folder used for downloads is not accessible to anything except the app that does the downloading.
Yep but you *can* get the file(S) from that temp folder. Search store for*downloader*

Downloads Folder Question

Weird situation. When I download something using Chrome, it shows up in the Downloads "app" which I assume is just a folder. I can also see the Download folder in ES File Explorer as well as the file I downloaded.
Now if I copy another file to that folder, I see the file in the Download folder, but it doesn't show up when I click the Downloads "app" - only the actual downloaded file shows up.
How can I get all the files in the Download "folder" to show up in the Downloads "app"?
Thanks
Errr, the downloads app is not just a folder, its an actual APK that shows what downloads you have made on you phone.
Has nothing to do with the downloads folder, other then that is the folder when the downloads program downloads to.
I don't know that its possible with out someone making a new downloads apk that acts as you want.
That makes sense. Guess I could make a folder shortcut and use that to view them Thanks

Is it possible to copy files in a folder to onedrive folder?

I have files in a download folder that are taking up space on my phone.
Is it possible to copy the files to onedrive folder and then delete the files in the folder, can this be done on a daily basis as well?

Try using FolderSync app, it also works in combination with Tasker as a plugin.
