On your computer, it should look similar to the image below, which is a screenshot of my computer showing the proper path of the “publish_to_web” folder:

NOTE that “publish_to_web” must be placed in the Public folder otherwise it is not viewable to the public. Move (or copy-n-paste) this folder to the “Public” folder in the Dropbox folder. Once you finish creating the slideshow and hit that “export” button, Soundslides will automatically generate a “publish_to_web” folder for you. The video below explains the concept behind Dropbox: To start using Dropbox, all you need to do is to go to, download and install the program on your computer, create an account, and put some files into the Dropbox folder on your computer. I use Dropbox almost on a daily basis: I have Dropbox installed on my home computer, office computer and on my iPhone. If you haven’t used Dropbox – it is a free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. A simple and free solution for Soundslide users who don’t want to pay for web hosting services but may have occasional needs to share a sound slideshow online – use Dropbox.
