Dropbox: no direct access?

7

1

I've created a Dropbox folder, with a .png and .html in it. Obtained these links via "Share link": png, html However, they don't open directly. Only through Dropbox logo or download. What's wrong?

Also tried the old way through "Public folder" (which is now deprecated but could be created anyway). In this case png opens directly and html doesn't open at all (links below, in my comment).

Could anyone explain how do I publish an html for direct access?

1Just now found the answer - simply replace "www" with "dl" in a link. Pity that I couldn't find the answewr at Dropbox's site, though it turned out to be there! – Alexander Shmuratko – 2013-01-17T12:30:03.370

1Sure, I couldn't do it right then because of the limitations. – Alexander Shmuratko – 2013-01-17T17:11:02.813
