Title: Do me a favour - Dropbox test
Post by: Scherf on December 05, 2015, 02:07:53 AM

Evening all, can you guys do me a favour and tell me if this link allows you to open a file I uploaded to Dropbox without any difficulties?

By "difficulties" I mean "Sorry, you have to sign up to Dropbox", or seeing it half-in half-out of Dropbox. I want it just to open into Excel when folks click on the "Open" button.

Thanks in advance, link is:

A sign in/up window appears, but there is a "no thanks just download" button.

If you close (x button in the top right corner) the sign on/up window you can click the download button and it will download the excel file.

Thanks Gents, I guess that's close enough.

If the file is in your public folder you can right click on the file and click on "copy public link" and just paste a direct link to the file, like this:

I can download it in my phone without logging into Dropbox.
