Using DropBox image url-link?

[BDM STUDIOS NL]

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

Here's how to add an image to a forum post.

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!!!

It can be done from iPad as well, but its way more cumbersome that way. I don't even fool with it. I use my Mac when I need to link images from Dropbox.

Hi, in my DropBox folder I only have:

Camera Uploads
Photos

No public folder!

I'm reading through the Dropbox support forum and saw this thread. You might try updating your OS X Dropbox installation and/or uninstalling it and installing the latest version. You should get a Public folder in there. Also check out the thread I linked to.

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!
