How to Download from Dropbox

How to Download from Dropbox
Hey Cool Cats! Ever went to download one of my freebies from Dropbox and found yourself scratching your head thinking, "Do I really have to sign up to get this file?" Well, fret not. I've got some good news for you. You don't need an account to grab that file. 🎉 Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get it done on both your computer and phone. Ready? Let's dive in.

How to Download from Dropbox from Your Desktop:

  1. Click That Link!

    • Start off easy: Click on the Dropbox link you received. This will direct you to Dropbox's website.
  2. Spot the Download Button

    • Once you're on the page, ignore all the sign-up nags and distractions. Just focus on the top-right corner of the page. There, you should see a button labeled ‘Download’.
  3. Choose Your Download Mode

    • After clicking 'Download', a dropdown will appear. You'll see two options: "Direct Download" and "Save to my Dropbox". Since we’re avoiding sign-ups, go ahead and click "Direct Download".  (If you see a popup asking to sign up, just click it away, your download has already started)
  4. Save it!

    • Your computer will now prompt you to save the file. Choose your preferred location, hit 'Save', and wait for the magic to happen.

    Tips for dealing with .zip files: Most modern computers can natively handle .zip files. Simply double-click the file to open and view its contents. If you want to extract the files, right-click and choose the 'extract' or 'unzip' option.

How to Download from Dropbox from Cell Phone:

Note: While phones differ a bit in layout and design, the basic process is pretty much the same across the board.

  1. Tap That Link

    • Begin by tapping the Dropbox link you got in your email, message, etc.
  2. Skip the App

    • Now, Dropbox might nudge you to download their app. While it’s a cool app, that’s not why we’re here. Instead, look for an option that says 'Continue to website' or 'View in Browser'. Give that a tap.
  3. Download Time!

    • Like on the desktop, you should see a 'Download' button somewhere (often at the bottom). Tap it. A small menu will pop up, presenting a couple of options.
  4. Get the File

    • From the pop-up, choose "Direct Download". Depending on your phone, the file might start downloading automatically, or you might need to confirm where you want to save it.
  5. Accessing the File

    • Once it's done, swipe down your notification bar. You'll usually see the download progress or notification there. Once it’s finished, tap on it, and voila! Your file is ready for viewing.
       
    Handling .zip Files: Unlike most desktops, some phones don't handle .zip files natively. If you download a .zip on your phone, you might need a third-party app to open or extract it. Apps like "WinZip" or "RAR" are popular choices available on both Android and iOS.

And there you have it! You've now successfully sidestepped the whole sign-up process and have your desired file from Dropbox, whether you're on a desktop or phone. So next time you get a Dropbox link, you'll be downloading in no time. Enjoy, and happy downloading! 🚀

What Type of Paper is Ideal for Printing Junk Journal Pages?

Wednesday, March 1, 2023

What Type of Paper is Ideal for Printing Junk Journal Pages?
Junk journaling is a popular crafting hobby that involves creating unique journals using a variety of materials. One essential component of a junk journal is the paper used to fill its pages. Choosing the right paper for your junk journal can make all the difference in the final result, so it's important to choose carefully. In this blog post, we will discuss the best type of paper to use when printing your junk journal papers.

First and foremost, it's important to consider the weight and thickness of the paper. Junk journaling typically involves layering and collaging multiple papers together, so you'll want a paper that can withstand the weight and hold up to the glue and other adhesives. A heavier weight paper, such as cardstock or watercolor paper, is a good choice as it will provide the necessary sturdiness and durability.

When it comes to the finish of the paper, you have a few options. Matte paper is a popular choice for junk journaling as it doesn't have a glossy coating, which can make it easier to adhere to other papers and materials. However, if you prefer a more polished look, a semi-gloss or glossy paper may be a good choice.

Finally, consider the printer you'll be using to print your papers. If you have a high-quality inkjet printer, you'll want to choose a paper that is compatible with inkjet printers. Similarly, if you have a laser printer, choose a paper that is designed for use with laser printers.

What Type of Paper is Ideal for Printing Junk Journal Pages
 
In summary, the best type of paper to use when printing your junk journal papers should be heavy enough to withstand layering and collaging, have a finish that is easy to adhere to other materials, be available in a neutral or colored option, and compatible with your printer type. By considering these factors, you can create a beautiful and durable junk journal that will be cherished for years to come.
