Attaching files to events via Dropbox

If you would like to access certain files from an event or would like to share files with others who have access to your event, just follow these instructions:

1. Dropbox

You need a Dropbox account so that the files can be accessed from the Internet. Create a Dropbox account on http://www.dropbox.com. A standard account is free and you can buy additional space for a monthly fee.

2. Dropbox Public Folder

You need a "Public" folder in your Dropbox. Please click here under "Creating a Public folder" on "click here" to see how to create one:

3. Configuring CalenGoo

Please turn "Settings", "Display and Use", "Detail view", "Phone numbers" on in CalenGoo to allow HTML links in the description field of an event.

Usage

After installing it as described above, you can easily attach files to event. Just copy the file into your "Public" folder, then right click it and choose "Copy Public Link":

Sharing files without a public folder

It is also possible to share and attach files without a public Dropbox folder. But it is a little bit more complicated. You have to use the "Share link" function as explained here:

When clicking on "Share link" a web page will be opened. The URL of that web page will be something like

https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcdefghj/test.txt

Just replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropbox.com:

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/abcdefghj/test.txt

This is the link that you have to insert into the event.
