@"lportzline" wrote:When I share a link to a PDF, how can I get the PDF to open directly in someone's browser without requiring them to download the file to their hard drive?

@"BobSmith3" wrote:My question here: "Has anybody found a way to rename the root dropbox folder?????" The root folder cannot be renamed. It's simply not possible. Create a symlink called Dropbox and point it to the newly renamed folder.
