Untrue. Direct links were an available feature for quite some time. I used them frequently.

It’s definitely been an available feature for quite some time now, but you weren’t able to share files this easily across your whole Dropbox. Before, you were either forced to share using your Public folder, or by sharing an entire folder to a group of people, who had to confirm through email.

Now, it’s a matter of sending a link referring directly to the file.

NEW SOCIAL NETWORK FOR ANDROID – Picaim

Picaim is a project that aims to become a social network to see and share things that are happening in your city and in the world.
The service is based on sharing geo-located photos of things that are happening in your city.

The great idea is that photos can not be sent by the computer, just for mobile devices, and only at the moment they were captured. This measure helps prevent false information inserted in the social network.

This means, you see what is happening, what the person who took the photo has to say, and where that is happening at the moment what is happening.
You can see content classified by what is happening in your city.

Also you can post anonymously, if you wish to protect their identity to share with the world.

Anyone can see what is happening in your city on our web site, without registration or application for mobile.

The project was launched this week, still has very few users, and we are asking for help to all who possess an android phone, just download the application, test and share with friends in your city.

To check out the project, visit:
http://www.picaim.com

The application for Android already available in the market!

Help us to share with the twitter hashtag: #PicaimForAndroid

OBS.: If you can not take the picture because of the gps location, try again in an open environment.

Nope. Two different companies with similar names.

I think this is just as much to do with other sharing sites like Minus.com (that already let you do this) as with the upcoming Google Drive.

I’m glad I can do this now, but I’ve been sharing individual files and whole folders using Minus.com for a while.

I love my dropbox synced folder on my mac. I’ll hope google makes that happen, and offers more storage. Heck, I already pay $ for extend storage on Google Docs

Agreed, I am not sure why people couldn’t find the link feature. Open Folder – right click – Get Link.

Go figure.

This has been a real lifesaver for Dropbox users butit hasn’t been that straight forward, when you’re sharing with non Dropbox users.

I wish “box” was a little better on the features front like dropbox. Your so restricted with upload sizes as well. I have two 50gb accounts with box, an only 3.5gb on dropbox

I was recently trying to do this in the browser and it seemed impossible to find where this feature was located, even though I knew it existed. It was/is much more straightforward to share a link via the mobile app on Android enabled by the universal share menu.

In other words, “dropbox moves into the space that used to be occupied by megaupload, as google squeezes it”
