1. How public is the Dropbox public folder? eg Little boxes, but no hillside ... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30808964/DSC07553%6010001109%60rp%20Little= %20boxes%20-%20no%20hillside%20-%20maize%20and%20peppers%20%28red%29%2C%20p= robably.jpg.jpg Is a photo that can be accessed by anyone who knows the link (as you now do= ). But without that knowledge, how would you be able to access a files with such a complex name? I have so far not found how to browse a public folder or to view a "directory listing". Is it possible? If not, is this then not at least modestly secure? ie the same as if it had a password (in this case its name). 2. Any way to give access to a whole subfolder - system seems to want to give a link per file. _______________ FWIW: Photo is 1.7 MB 9 November 2010 well into final approach to ? - probably Ningbo. Little houses, not on a hillside. Yellow on flat rooftops will be maize. Red at bottom left is probably peppers. Mr Airbus's fine double glazed windows plus the ever present smog and the camera's propensity to react badly to smog scattered UV (I think) means you won't get too much better than this.
