Posting Images Using Dropbox (2017)
Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2017 10:43 pm
Before on the "Photos have disappeared" thread I was able to post a photo directly from dropbox. However, after a recent dropbox update, the link no longer works.
Here is how to post images using the new dropbox.
1. Make sure the picture in your dropbox used for sharing is set to "Anyone with the link can view" (in other words, public).
2. Copy the link by pressing share. You should get a link like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xjjmhi3yyfxe ... .jpeg?dl=0
3. Change the name of the link from "http://www.dropbox.com" to "dl.dropboxusercontent.com" so the link becomes "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7xjjmhi3yyfxeb3/File%2025-09-2017%2C%209%2023%2032%20PM.jpeg?dl=0"
4. Place the newly created link between the [img] boxes for posting picures on the forum.
