Making a spooky Halloween playlist on Dropbox Paper
It’s getting really close to one of my absolute favourite times of year, Halloween As always, I’ll be building an eerie playlist to listen to while I decorate my house with spooky stuff to entertain the trick or treaters who call at my door. Using Paper to make a playlist This year, I decided to ask some friends for help curating my playlist, to make this process a little easier I created a Halloween paper doc and shared it with everyone and asked them to add their favourite Halloween songs.Dropbox Paper has lots of features to help make your planning easier! Adding Spotify links to a Paper doc I’ll be using Spotify to make my playlist and it’s super easy for people to add a link to Spotify directly to a Paper document. Here’s how to do it Click the Insert media button on the menu bar at the bottom of the page Scroll down the left-hand side of the pop up window until you see the Spotify button Copy and paste the Spotify link and press enter Click the Add to doc button I know that not all of my friends use Spotify, but anyone else who wants to add to the doc can do so by adding a YouTube link, by using the same method, with the only difference being you choose the YouTube option on the pop up window after you click the Insert media button. Our top spooky selections So, to help get you in the mood for Spooky season 👻 here’s some of the tracks that have made their way onto this year’s Playlist so far. Tell us what you think My playlist needs your help, please let me know what you think of it so far and add links to any tracks you’d like to see added.Welcome to Groups: Musicians
If you’re reading this post, there’s probably a good chance that you’re a musician or passionate about music. If that’s the case, you’re definitely in the right place and I’d like to take this opportunity to be the first to welcome you to our brand new Community group for musicians, a place where you can connect with other musicians and people who share your passion. Who can join? This group is open to anyone who has an interest in music. From professionals to novices and everyone else in between, if you’ve mastered the mandolin, just discovered an awesome Spotify playlist or just want to share how you use your Dropbox account as a musician, this is the perfect place for you to come and let others know. What can I post? We want this space to be all about you, so you can post pretty much anything music related here. Whatever the genre, or instrument, this is a space for you to come and discuss what’s currently hitting all of the right notes for you. So, if you want to talk about your favourite band, find a bass player or organise a jam session in your local area, tell people how you prepare for gigs using your Dropbox account, or list the pros and cons of digital versus analogue sound, this group is the ideal place to start the discussion. This group is a social place, so while we want you to talk about Dropbox and help each other, it’s not intended to be your first stop for customer support. So, if you are looking for help from one of our Community Moderators, the best place to find it is still over on our Ask the community board. Tell us what you think This group won’t work without all of you getting involved so we’d love to hear your thoughts about how we can make it better, so if you’ve got any feedback, or just want to say hi, please leave a comment below.
