How do I find a link copied to a clipboard for sharing?
How do I find a link copied to a clipboard for sharing?
What they are saying is: Dropbox will automatically send that Link to your computer's Clipboard. So, it's the same as if Dropbox: 1) gave you a Link, and then 2) you highlighted it and 3) you Copied it. Dropbox is essentially just saving you the step of highlighting the Link and Copying it; they already automatically "Copied" it to your Clipboard/computer. Now, all you have to do is go wherever you want, and hit Paste, and the Download Link will be Pasted. (Just try it real quick: go in a Word document or your email, and hit Paste: it should Paste a Dropbox Link).
Hope this helps,

Its your standard clipboard Elizabeth.
So, if you 'paste' in to an application it should be there.
So ok rephrase, where is my standard clipboard ?
