7 years agoThanks so much on elaborating on this one for me KMH - most appreciated.
I will be passing your comments along to the team as a feature request for previewing shared links as a slide-show - thank you for taking the time to provide your extensive feedback on this; it really helps a lot improve our services and current features.
In the meantime, I don't know if this would work for you, but there's a function that's very similar to what you'd like to achieve -- it's Paper's presentation mode which allows you to present any Paper doc in full screen.
As mentioned, I'm not sure if this will do the trick for you so please feel free to try it out and let me know how it goes.
Thanks again!

Thanks for adding your voice to this feature request SJon - I'll make sure to pass your comments on to our dev team for consideration.
In the meantime, if my previous suggestions didn't work out well for you, you could give our Showcase feature a go as this is really close to what you'd like to achieve. Just note that it's available to our Professional and on our Dropbox Business plans (Advanced, Enterprise and Education).
Let me know if you have any more feedback or questions.
