✍️ Note
At this time, Dropbox does not permit embedding documents directly from Dropbox into Guru. We recommend hyperlinking to Dropbox files or embedding the documents from another source (ie. Google Drive or Box) to satisfy the same goal.
Link Card text to a Dropbox file
1. Open your file in Dropbox.
2. On the upper-right-hand corner, click the Share button. Your file must be shared with the appropriate users in Dropbox in order to access it from the hyperlink in the Guru Card.
3. After determining the appropriate level of access, click Copy Link to copy the sharing link to your clipboard.
4. Navigate to Guru and, as a Collection Owner or Author, create a Card or edit an existing Card.
5. Highlight Card text and paste (cmd + v on Mac or ctrl + v on Windows) to apply the hyperlink to the Dropbox file. You can also click the Link icon in the popover menu or Card editor toolbar to insert a hyperlink.
