Hi Roisin,

Hope your keeping well,
 I am having a lot of difficulty putting my eResource and WIP presentation ( both are made in Articulate)  on Yola, I know its possible to do it because the Child Obesity project opens up fine in Yola,

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7254603/child%20obesity%20-%20a%20guide%20for%20parents%20%28combined%20course%29/player.html

but I cant get the link where I have my resource saved in Dropbox to open up in this form
 the link is
https://www.dropbox.com/home/WIP%20Presentation%20-%20Presenter%20output

and the resource is

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/77p8r2hxvd3iurs/AADiKLkWior6RqwiN6svfeJna?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/home/29.5.15%20-%20Presenter%20output?preview=presentation_html5.html


I think it can be opened by changing the address using https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com

I have contacted Yola and Dropbox about this and being given  the run-around, It would be a great help if anyone at DIT  can remember how we did this.


Thanks Mark

Hi Mark,

I checked with Claire, our EPortfolio tutor, and she has said the following:


"looking at Mark’s links via Dropbox I don’t think the issue is with Yola itself. Dropbox seems to be only able to give access to the file rather than loading and displaying the file. 
 
I’ve looked online and it says that the content needs to be in the Dropbox “Public” folder – I don’t think he can make any folder and share, it needs to be this public one. Sharing permissions need to be public."

See if this helps at all Mark.

Hi Roisin,

Thanks for the reply,your right that the problem is not with Yola. From what I have seen  Dropbox  may have  changed, I can find a public folder, but I cant find "Copy Public Link"   I attach a screenshots,links and information from Yola, I need to be able to create a http/internet link to attach the files to the Yola page, so they can open in Yola, at the moment I cant seem to link them. I know it was possible in the past, because the link from dropbox to Yola for the Child Obesity project still works.

Thanks again

Mark

The Public folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox. Any file you put in this folder gets its own Internet link that you can share with others -- even non-Dropbox users!

Step 1:  Drop a file into the Public folder.

Step 2:  Right-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies an Internet link to your file that you can paste anywhere: emails, instant messages, blogs, etc.

That's it! To share your file, just send the link to a friend.

Happy Dropboxing!
- The Dropbox Team

P.S. You can only link to actual files within your Public folder, not to folders. For help with sharing files visit http://www.dropbox.com/help/16
