Can't download from Dropbox, freezes on Google Drive
Hello all,
I want to be able to download pdfs and epubs from one of my cloud accounts. Thing is, I don't want to have to type my long passwords, then do the two-step auth on the go everytime.
So I thought about shared folders. I'd have one link to open my "Books" folder on my Dropbox, accessible without authentification, while still discrete. I would use it as my home page and be able to download my books on the go. Very practical, super simple solution.
So I shared my folder, accessibility options show that the files are viewable by anyone with the link. But it doesn't work. I click on the download link but nothing happens. No files are downloaded, whether they're epubs or pdfs, have spaces in their names, whatever. It does download if I login to Dropbox, which is precisely what I want to avoid.
I tried the same thing on Google Drive, but then when I get to the file preview page the Kobo freezes and I have to hit the reset button at the bottom.
Any ideas ? I thought I had a nice solution with Dropbox :/
// Device is Kobo Aura, firmware is 3.12.
