Using Dropbox to host Image Files

When using Dropbox to host image files, there is a very specific set of steps that must be performed in order to make each image accessible for use in the Product Upload Spreadsheet.

1. Find the image you want to share

2. Select the image, and click the “share” button on the right side of the image listing

   

3. When the Share dialog appears, click the settings button in the bottom right corner

   

4. In the Share Settings dialog:

   1. Select the Link for viewing tab
   2. Next to the “Who has access” section is a dropdown. Click on it, and select the “Anyone with link” option
   3. Click the save button at the bottom of the dialog
   4. Once saved (you will see a status message at the bottom of the screen), click the “x” close button at the top right of the Share Settings dialog.

   

5. On the file list page, click the “share” button for the file again

   

6. When the Share dialog appears, click the “Copy link” button.

   

7. When the “Copy link” dialog appears, click the “Copy link” button, and paste that URL into the Product Upload spreadsheet.
