It's easy to have your blogs, emails or web pages either point to your KeepandShare pages.
All you have to do is copy the "Link:" gray box which has a URL address:
- For stored files, click on the file name and then there will be a gray box with a URL link. Just copy and paste this URL.
- For calendars, click on 'customize' and copy the "Link:"
- For documents or photo albums, edit the document or album and save it, and copy the "Link:"
- For share pages, click on the 'share' in the blue bar and copy the "Link:"
- For folders, click on the folder name so just that one folder is displayed, then copy the full URL out of your browser's address bar
Whenever a user clicks any of these pasted links they'll be taken directly to your information, if they have permission to view it (e.g., if it's privately shared, they'll have to log in to view it).
Don't forget to set sharing on the stored file, photo album or calendar, so users will be able to see it. The easiest is to set the sharing to 'Public', but you can also assign the sharing to any KeepandShare usernames or share groups. Your share page is your public 'portal', so it's not necessary to set sharing on it.
User Tip - How to 'Replace' an Uploaded File: once you've uploaded a file and given the URL to other people (or put the URL on some web pages), you sometimes want to replace the file but make sure the URL stays the same. No problem. Just click on the blue 'edit' command next to the file, and the next screen gives you instructions on how to upload a replacement file that will have the same URL.
User Tip - to directly display a document: if you want to display a document on the screen without the KeepandShare tabs or user interface, put the document into 'print' view by adding the parameter 'p=y'. If the URL does not yet have a '?', add it this way: '?p=y'. If the URL already has one '?' in it then add it with an ampersand: '&p=y'. Here are two sample URLs, the first will display the document 'inside' of KeepandShare, the second will display it in print view:

http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/40240/fun-things-to-do-on-a-date?p=y
User Tip - To copy any page's hyperlink URL address to the clipboard: Just point your browser at the page you want to link to, and then copy the address out of the browser's address bar. One way to get the address is to right click your mouse in the address bar of the browser. Then select copy from the menu choice that pops up in response to your mouse right click.
User Tip - how to pre fill the 'Account Name' field If you include a URL parameter '&accountname=mikesguest' in your URL, then, if the visitor to your URL is not already logged in to a KeepandShare account, the sign in box will have the account name already filled in (in this case, with 'mikesguest' as the account name). This is useful when you have a 2nd free account that you share with as your guest account. This way your friends do not need their own accounts - they can just log in to your 'guest' account. If you put this parameter into the URL, then all they'll need to remember is their password when they click on your URL. Here is a full example:
http://www.keepandshare.com/visit/visit_page.php?i=636577&accountname=mikesguest
(link linking URL paste URL hyperlink other website )
