Hi,
Can't seem to find a way to copy the url of an image in my dropbox folder to this forums, using "insert image"!?
Cheers

What you did was attaching an image that was then uploaded to macrumors and is now stored on the macrumors server.
As far as I know Dropbox can not be used as an image store that lets you hotlink images to other sites.
PLEASE correct if I am wrong. (I think Photobucket can do that though)
Yes you can use Dropbox to store images and then share them on other sites. I do this all the time here on MacRumors.
Hi All,
When I use the link-share from dropbox no image will be shown! @Sandbox, could you please share your workflow using DropBox? Thnx!!!
Cheers
I'm no longer at home now, so I will have to look into how I got that later. It's been a while since I setup Dropbox and I wonder if I did some kind of custom setting or something.
No public sharing!
Hi Sandbox,
Thanks for your support man! As usual this is a matter of RTFM! I had to get into my web-UCP and setup the public folder for using in DropBox!

All works fine now!
Have a nice Sunday!!!
Cheers
I thought I had read the manual now correctly, and have setup a public folder. But with all means, I cannot get to see the option of selecting the 'copy public link'. All I see instead is an option 'share link'. When I follow that one, I can get a link for a download or for sharing via Facebook or Twitter. But no hotlink for use on a forum.
Am I still missing then something, or is it simply not possible for me since I am not a rather new subscriber to Dropbox (account created early 2013).

Old thread but figured you might want a solution on this anyway since I just wrote a blog post on this very topic.
Solution: Add ?raw=1 to the end of your Dropbox Public Link URL

Image you see here is coming straight from Dropbox, I promise!
Full write-up, including tips on taking screenshots.
So if I understand correctly this issue is still not resolved by DropBox?
