      5. Add your URL
        Note: The URL must lead to where you have saved your .zip file and to which you have granted access. Additionally, the .zip file extension should be visible in the link, so encrypted URLs or redirecting URLs will not work.

      1. Copy the URL of your document through the Copy link option in Dropbox.
