The image of the *.PNG file from my Dropbox free account has disappeared

hi, you can create public link via here
To show images or provide links that doesn’t expire need to put the files in public folder. Please read the article
how to create a public folder https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/16 or directly click this link https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder

Dropbox by default for new free account doesn’t create the public folder. To make the links works longer you need to put files in public folder and choose from there.

Thanks for your quick support.

But as you mention, the only thing is that now it is not possible for new Dropbox free account to have the Public Folder option without upgrading to Pro or Business Dropbox.

So, I thing I could not use this plugin with my Dropbox free account.

Thank you anyway.

Please read the link I gave[I strongly believe you didn’t], still it’s possible to create the public folder. Dropbox now by default doesn’t create public folder. But you can still create , just while logged in dropbox click this link https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder

Yes, I clicked and read the link while logged in my Dropbox free account

Below you can see the page.

I suppose you can see the Link and It is a JPG file with a hardcopy of the page with a share link in my Dropbox free account.

It is in Spanish (my language) but the last bold sentence says “currently only users with Pro and Business version can Enable Public Folders from this page.” And you can do nothing in this page with my free account.

Thanks

them seems I will be not help about this. The social networks or such dropbox like companies at first give too much flexibility in api access and once they get good number of users they start to disable api access. I found same thing with facebook and linkedin recently.

Hello,

Don’t worry apparently your plugins work properly.

I investigated somewhat and the thing is not use the ‘Main File’ option to put your file in WordPress. This is the problem.

Apparently, if you use Medium Size(800px*800px) or Small Size(256px*256px) options then the image of the *.PNG file from my Dropbox free account stay for one day.

I tested this yesterday with Small Size(256px*256px) option and the image did not disappear today.

As you know, using ‘Main File’ option in WordPress ‘text tab’ appear

<img class=”alignnone” style=”margin: 0px; float: left;” src=”https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/ ….

And the code does not use the API and this was my problem.

While using Medium Size(800px*800px) or Small Size(256px*256px) options in WordPress ‘text tab’ appear

<img style=”margin: 4px; float: left;” src=”https://api-content.dropbox.com/r11/ …

And know the code uses the API.

And with the API it is not necessary to have ‘Public Folders’ in Dropbox (I do not have one) and the image of the *.PNG file from my Dropbox free account does not disappear.

Of course, I have to do more tests but apparently it works.

Thank you.
