Can I create a document in my Dropbox folder with links to items in shared links?
Hi, I have a folder in my dropbox with a different item on each page. I have also done a contents page listing each item. I would like to be able to tap on an item in the contents and it take me straight to the specific page. Each page has a specific title. Is it possible to do this and if so, how....I aren't great at the IT aspects so any simple guidance would be great. I have seen music/song books where you can go to a song in the contents and you can tap on the one you want and it takes you straight to that page/ song. There is also a note on each page you can tap and it takes you back to the contents. Clever stuff....thankyou. .

Hi NHCobra
It isnt with Dropbox, no. Unless you used a document which had a shared link to each file on it?
You would need to use a program to do this itself. You can often do it in Word etc. if the files are all in one document and link between them.
Hi NHCobra,
I understand your need for linking items in your contents page to specific pages. Unfortunately, Dropbox doesn’t support this feature directly. You could use a word processor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs instead. Compile all your pages into one document, use headings for each section, and insert hyperlinks in your contents page. This will allow you to jump directly to each section and create links back to the contents as well.
