You can then send the link by email or IM. To get the URL, you need to browse to the file in your public Dropbox folder, right-click it and choose Copy public link from the Dropbox menu. The problem comes when you want to give someone else the public link so they can access the file. This generates a download URL that anyone can follow to obtain a copy of the file.
Of course the other very useful feature of Dropbox is being able to publicly share files by placing them in the public folder. The idea of having a place on each of your computers that keeps all your most handy files up to date is hugely attractive. You’d have to come from a different planet not to have heard of Dropbox and its syncing simplicity that’s seduced many of us.
