Will the URL of a shared empty Dropbox folder change once I upload files to it?
Hi,
I am writing an important application, and have to include a URL to a Dropbox folder with images in it.
I don't have time to upload the images until a few days after the application deadline (they will take a while to start the process).
If in the application form I provide a link to an empty Dropbox folder, will that URL stay the same after I have uploaded the files?
Also - it is requested that the Dropbox "can be accessed anonymously". How do I do that?
Many thanks,
CJ

Yes the folder link will stay the same :)
And all links that are sent as read only are anonymous :)

Thanks for the swift reply Mark!
I think they will need to download the contents of the folder, as there will be Quicktime movies in it and they might not play well in Dropbox.
Can I make it so they can download the folder anonymously?

Yes the folder will let them download :)
