How to provide a link to download a file, like a resume

22Slides doesn’t offer generic file management, because frankly, someone already does it better, and for free: Dropbox. Dropbox is a little overkill for simply linking to your resume from your website, but it’s such a useful tool in general, that we really recommend everyone sign up for an account.

Dropbox puts a folder on your computer that automatically syncs, backs up, and publishes its contents over the web. It's perfect for sharing files with people.

Create an Account

Visit this link, sign up for a free account, and download Dropbox: http://db.tt/B4CH91R (this is our referral link, you’ll get some extra space for free by singing up though this link).

Add your File to your Dropbox Account

You should now have a “Dropbox” folder on your computer with a “Public” folder inside of it. Put your resume or other file inside this “Public” folder. That's it!

Add a Link to your File to your Website

Right click on your resume file and choose 'Copy Dropbox Link' from the menu.

From your 22Slides admin area, you can select text inside a text section, and convert it into a link.

Sign into your control panel for your 22Slides website, and paste the link anywhere you’d like to put the link. This can be a link within a text page, or you could create a “Page” that simply links to the file.
