Instructions for a simple link on a webpage?
All I want to do is hyperlink from a webpage to a shared drobox folder. Is this impossible? No matter how I format the link, I get "Dropbox refuses to connect". I created an app and added that dom...
Hey could one of you share a sample complete link using the solution Msadr came up with? I am trying to do the same things at my website. It is on a password accessible page and I want to provide a link to the drop box file that has photos of the project. I too created a link to the dropbox file and added it to my website (using the standard method suggested by Gre_DB above). But instead of linking to the dropbox file of images, I am getting a 404 Not Found. Thanks!

Hi barbarartist,
There is no such thing like "file of images"! There could be a link to image file or link to folder of images files.
Anyway... your issue is something completely different! On OP, the issue is impossible embedding of a Dropbox frame (or most of them at least - excluding some like targeting Dropbox Embedder). In your case the link seems broken - you have damaged it or inactivate it or maybe pointed file has been removed. Fix your link; adding anything else wouldn't change anything. If you can point something that doesn't work (as example), it will clarify the things.
I copied the link at my dropbox for a collection of images called 'Unlocking Desire Image Collection'. I have shared this link with press people so they can choose images for any articles they write, and have had no problem. Here is an example of a link at my website:
May 2023 Unlocking Desire was announced in Variety at <a href=https://variety.com/2023/film/global/barbara-neri-blanche-dubois-lgbtqia-unlocking-desire-1235622714/>the 2023 Cannes Film Festival </a>.
So I did the same think with the dropbox link I copied on my dropbox. It won't work. It goes to a 404 Not Found page.
Even though this link works perfectly at my website I am getting this message as I try to send this to you:

barbarartist, Since you don't want to show me nonworking example I cannot say much more.
About the message for wrong formatting (I suppose on your forum post), just don't copy formatted text, but plain text only and you won't have any issues (clear the formatting when needed - seems forum imperfection). This message has nothing to do with your issue though.
Well, the only one I have that is not working is to the file at my dropbox. And I really don't want to share that link to this public forum. If I could send it to you privately that would work. I'm at [personal information removed per the Community's Guidelines]
