How to share file by DROPBOX?

[Debraj]

When I R.Click on the File Icon > DropBox > GetLink.. and paste the link in forum..

after click on same link, It opens a new Window/Tab and then ask to download...


but when Ninja's share a link, after click on the URL, its just shows download box, without affecting current page..


How..

Good evening Debraj Roy


Are you putting your files to upload in the pubic folder in Dropbox? then right click on files and select Dropbox from menu and select copy public link and paste this into your post on Chandoo.

In the taskbar you should have a Dropbox icon check preference so that you know there is the right net settings

Hi, Debraj Roy!

Maybe other Ninjas might have hacked DropBox... I don't know how to do it (imagine if I knew ha ha)...

Actually I even don't knot what that verb hac.? means (I guess something about those guys who use axes), and so I've never done such a thing before (whatsoever it means, of course), I love trees. And I'd never do it again until next occurrence.

Regards!

PS: Now a little less seriously, I use Public folder in DropBox for sharing files here, where I always send a copy of the original file, which I keep in the original folder. I have many other public folders or partially public, but always with duplicates of the files. I know that it's nothing related but... remember Megaupload? Yes, it wouldn't happen (2009 Ok, 2010 Ok, ... 2011!!!). Despite of that, there are a lot of those people with axes belonging to the black color group outside there in the ether.

DropBox is a cloud service to have files handly, not to store them permanently and uniquely.

PS 2: BTW, DropBox is an absolutely secure service, so you shouldn't fear anything at all if you still choose to store your files only there.

Unlike most other cloud services there is no log in required, you do not have to wait as you do with some services while they run the add to get you to sign up for more space which = money, and we all know about the masters of data farming to save to their servers.....google.

Just post the public link and that's it, those that wish to down load can do with out any hassle

Company use Dropbox because it is secure and totally private

Hi, all!


Regarding what Luke M exactly described as data farming, I strongly recommend to use this:

http://www.abine.com/

DNT+ (Do not track plus)


Even it's free it's amazingly efficient. I use it with Firefox (Aurora & Nightly versions too) and Chrome; I don't use "the other of the e". In Firefox I have more than 160K track intents rejected and in Chrome more than 20K, but this 8X factor is relate to the pages used in each one, not to the product efficiency.


Give a look at this:

Hi, Ajinkya!


Today's Saturady, my lawyers don't work on weekends -actually nearly neither on working days-, so I'll quote myself from an upward post:

"Actually I even don't knot what that verb hac.? means (I guess something about those guys who use axes), and so I've never done such a thing before (whatsoever it means, of course), I love trees. And I'd never do it again until next occurrence."


There's always the chance of being hacked, no one is fully safe, it's just an equation about cost vs. benefit issue, if nothing personal is involved.


It'd depend on the interest you might trigger, the valuable data you can be stolen, actually it depends on who are you and what do you do. If you're not considered a target, much that despite your ego, you'll be reasonable safe.


The other point is your security concerns and how you interact with the internet. If you use shared computers and tell browsers to remind your Id and password for web services, if you fulfill all the data required by forms with your actual data, if you write "I'm going to have dinner with my son Charles" or "My dog Duke is lovely" at social networks pages and you use those names or other related info as birthdates or so, if you use the very same and easy password for all services, ... if you do all that you don't have to do, well, you're shouting out "come for me, here I am!". If I were not so polite, perhaps I'd say that you want to get in trouble, and if so then you deserve to -if not be hacked- at least got compromised in your security. Just for learning the lesson by the hard way. Same as with backups, almost no one supports a full restore of your data as part of the test of a contingency plan, most people do it partially and others don't, until they lose all info, then they began to burn 2 DVD everyday, three months later you have 100 DVD, with a little information redundancy.


About your GMail question, I honestly don't think that DNT+ helps to avoid being hacked at all, it's intended for other purposes, just to don't be tracked. Enter to the website and read what it does, how it works, and what actually means tracking.


Regards!
