As a demonstration of using the UConn dropbox for storing lecture PDFs for courses, here are several ways to create a link to my (i.e. Paul Lewis') syllabus from the course Introduction to Botany taught Fall 2014 (note that these links will expire sometime mid-September 2015, but the instructions for creating them will still be appicable):
Contents
Simple link
Here is what I put into this EEBedia page to make this link (but replace <url> with the actual URL provided by dropbox.uconn.edu):
:[<url> Syllabus]
Link to PDF icon
Syllabus
Here is what I put into this EEBedia page to make this link (as above, replace <url> with the actual URL):
:[[File:Pdficon small.gif|link=<url>]] Syllabus
Link to both PDF icon and the word "Syllabus"
To link both, just follow the instructions for both "Link to PDF icon" and then "Simple link" above, i.e.
[File:Pdficon small.gif|link=<url>]] [<url> Syllabus]
Uploading a file to Dropbox
- Visit the UConn dropbox web site
- Sign-in with your NetID
- Choose a file and upload it, saving the URL provided to your clipboard
- Create a link to the file in your EEBedia page using the instructions above, replacing
<url>with the URL provided by dropbox - Note that there is a version of dropbox that allows you to set a password (see "Click here to use the more secure, encrypted Dropbox" at the bottom of the dropbox site)
