Test of DropBox

[SuperFudd]

Hi all,

Just testing to see if I can link screenshots from my DropBox account.
This should be the Sunol station on the SP on my Stockton to Milpitas route (under construction).

OK! That worked, finally .
Well, sort of. It does if you click on the link but how come it does not display in this post?

No, it needs a login

I'd suggest using Host Then Post as it is easy and no registration is required

In your dropbox installation map on your HD is a folder named Public. If you create a subfolder Screenshots in there (not really nescessairy, but tidy to do :hehe: ) and drop your screenshots in there the link you provide will be available for everybody.

Greetings from sunny Amsterdam,

Unfortanatly I cannot see the pic. This is all I get:
Error (403)
It seems you don't belong here! You should probably try logging in?

There we go. Don't know what the deal is with DropBox.
This is the SPRR Sunol station at the East end of Niles Canyon on my still under construction route from Stockton to Milpitas California circa 1962. Yes, I know the station was not there then but it is on my route. The ancient SP cabose was on it's way to the Richmond Point railroad museum when it developed a hot box and was left on the Sunol siding a couple of hours before this shot was taken.

There we go. Don't know what the deal is with DropBox.

The 'deal' is that you're not using the 'Get Public Link' option. But instead you're copying the link from within your dropbox control panel, that link is NOT public.

To prove that pics put in 'Public' and using 'Get Public Link' work:

Very well, perhaps "reading the manual" is not a bad idea.
Let's see.

Yep. Thanks Nikki.

Very cool, love the route there SuperFudd:Y: Keep up the good work, its nice to see different eras of the same area:wave:
Heres one of Sunol as it sits today

It would appear the caboose was never picked up:hehe:
