Computer How insert images like url in the post

I know that some pixies here dont know how insert images like url is for that
I want share with you how i insert my images like url using Dropbox. I hope that this help you!

Here you can see the button INSERT IMAGE when you want reply a post or write a pm. There you will paste the url of the image.


picture 1

For start.. What is a url?

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) it is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

Then we need an URL for our images , you will find many sites that do it this but i know use dropbox and personally
i like it, for me is simple and fast.

What is Dropbox? This is the wikipedia definition:

Dropbox is a Web-based file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc. that uses cloud storage to enable users to
store and share files and folders with others across the Internet using file synchronization.

You will find more info in the dropbox site https://www.dropbox.com/tour

This is the home of Dropbox site you will see this:


picture 2

You need install the program and create a acount, Dropbox offers a free account of 2 GB, you can install for windows, linux, mac and mobile, you will find too all the help that you need for each one.
I will explain for windows but for the others is the same idea.

1) Download the file for install Dropbox.
2) When you install the Dropbox desktop application, it creates a new folder on your computer. It works like any other folder on your hard drive, except everything in your Dropbox folder automatically syncs to the web and to any other computer with Dropbox installed.

You have two forms for use it:

1) Using dropbox directly to your computer without login.

Find in Program files the folder Dropbox and open it:


picture 3

Inside on Dropbox folder you will find 2 folders and a file with help, i remove the folder with the help.


picture 4

Now choose the image that you want post and save it the PUBLIC FOLDER, you need save all the files that you want share in Public folder, in this case i need insert one image for post.


picture 5

Right click in the image after choose DROPBOX after COPY PUBLIC LINK
with that step you will get the url of image!


picture 6

PASTE the url


picture 7

Click on accept and will appears the image!

Some important is that if you modified a file that is in the public folder, this change will be in all places where you used the url.

I hope that this help you!
Tomorrow i will post the other form..

Wow, thx Cupcake! This helps a lot to me, bc I have no idea why my images won't show up in here! But I never used this program, and maybe PHF just doesn't accept the page I went to.
I will definitely try this out! Thx thx!
P.S. I just saw that we can attach images now
Here's the cupcake for your B-day that didn't work before: cake1091.jpg

Just remember that attachments are only available in the Arts, Creativity, Sigs & Avatars forum for now.
The Dropbox would be a good way for users to add images to their posts until our albums are fixed - thanks Cupcake!

Oh, I thought we could use attachments everywhere. Thx Onion for telling me! LOL I'd feel so dumb confused when I'd try to attach an image in other threads.
I have some more free time this weekend, I'll try to figure out how this program works!
Thx for your help girls!
