  7. You can more efficiently get multiple file / folder publish URLs. Just visit any published folder, select files / folders in it, then right click on the files / folders, select Show Publish URLs. It will open a new dialog as follows:

    To get the publish URLs, please right click on the selected folders / files, then click on Show Publish URL. It pops up a dialog as shown below:

    You can copy the publish URLs into your Windows clipboard and paste them into other applications, such as Notepad, MS Word or any HTML editors.

    The above publish URLs has a pattern of:

    http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/publish/OWNER_USERNAME/PUBLISH_NAME/FILENAME

    If you want to hide your username and folder name, you can click on the Show Safe URL(s) button, which will change the Publish URLs into a new format as shown below:

    The safe Publish URLs hide the username, publish name, folder name and filename info. So the URL is more secure; moreover, safe URLs are guaranteed not to have any special characters that might affect the validity of a URL. On the other hand, a regular Publish URLs may not work if it has special characters in the folder name / file name, etc.

    Please note when other users visit your published (or shared) folder(s), they will be using your account download bytes. So if you expect a lot of users will access your published folder, please make sure your account has enough download bytes.
