Hey Colo, question: When I right click on the file, roll over "Dropbox" and click "Copy Public Link", it gives me something like https://20%example%20.png. Is there any way to fix this?

Well, it will always have to give you that type of file link so that the browser can parse the non-breaking space in the filename. Some browsers (latest version of Firefox at least) can decipher the "%20" to mean a space, but apparently some don't. As far as I know there's no real workaround here as it affects the actual link to the file.

Just make sure you have your designs in the public folder. I made that mistake with my first design, you wont see the dropbox tag when you right click in anything other than the public folder.

Yes, I did that myself. I had accidentally deleted the Public folder and had no clue how to post stuff for viewing outside of my personal dropbox. If you accidentally delete the Public directory, just go to the Dropbox directory and make a new folder named 'Public'. The program will realize what it is and things will start working again.

I just "discovered" another benefit of Dropbox, whenever you go back and edit, once you save, it updates automatically, no need to re-upload just because you forgot to add shading somewhere, it syncs automatically!

I'm taking the liberty here, to post a personal experience that just happened to me in real life designs, that can help others the same way it helped me about it.
For new users of dropbox, as myself, when you download the program, it doesn`t come any longer with the public folder, so you can`t afterwards get public links in order to post your drawing appropiately anywhere. But our friend Kilomuse, who also is a new user and had the same problem, discovered that once you get the link to your drawing, when you want to use the Img tool, by replacing the "www." in the URL given for your link, by a simple "dl.", the program will work perfect and you`ll get your drawing to be seen, as how you expect it to be.

Or you just go to WWW.dropbox.com, log in, and go to the link my folder or public folder inside the webpage, and load it up there and get the perfect link!

Home!

If the public folder isn't there, you can create it inside the Dropbox directory and it will recognize it.
