The document describes how to share files publicly from Dropbox by placing them in the Public folder, which generates a unique Internet link for each file. To share a file, the user copies the public link after dropping the file into the Public folder and can then paste this link anywhere to allow others to access the file even when their computer is turned off.

The Public Folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox. Any file you put in this folder gets its own Internet link so that you can share it with others-- even non-Dropbox users! These links work even if your computer’s turned off. Step 1: Drop a file into the Public folder. Step 2: Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies the Internet link to your file so that you can paste it somewhere else. That's it! You can now share this file with others: just paste the link into e-mails, instant message conversations, blogs, etc.! If you'd like more help with sharing files, head here: http://www.dropbox.com/help/16 Happy Dropboxing! - The Dropbox Team Note: You can only link to actual files within your Public Folder, not to folders.
