This article describes how to get URLs for files hosted on Dropbox so that you can display them in PDF pages in your ipushpull folder.

Getting links using the Dropbox website

If you're using the Dropbox website, drill down to the folder containing the file you want to share:

Click on the Share button. This will display a link to the file:

ipushpull Documentation > PDF Pages - Get a File URL when using Dropbox > dropbox_web_share_link.PNG

Copy this link, go back to the ipushpull website and paste the link into the File URL field in the ipushpull Page settings.

Getting Links using Windows Explorer

If you're using Dropbox in Windows Explorer, right-click on the file you want to share and select Share Dropbox link. The link will be copied to your clipboard:

Go back to the ipushpull website and paste the link into the File URL field in the ipushpull Page settings.

Getting Links using Mac Finder
