Can I give someone else acces to my account without sharing folders or links? in other words give that person a second login to my dropbox? (without them having necessarily a dropbox account of their own)
DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD WITH THEM!!!!
Doing that effectively makes them the owner of the account, the same as you, and allows them to do ANYTHING they want with it - delete it, change password, change the email etc. and if they do YOU HAVE NO COME BACK as you permitted it by giving them the details.
The only SAFE way to do this is via Shared Folders.

This is bad advice so I have completely deleted it. Apologies to @Mark and @Rich.

Obviously, I wouldn't do it with people you don't trust entirely. Never with strangers.
The advise from @Anselmou is BAD ADVISE. DO NOT DO THIS! You should NEVER share your account credentials for any service.
@Anselmou, I have edited your post to remove your advice.
Thanks everyone for swift reply. Don't worry I will not share my mail and password.
Unless I'm doing it completly wrong, I can't share a folder with someone who hasn't dropbox, can I? The free version of Dropbox is not good enough - too little space.
I actually would like to give them acces to some folders on my dropbox with their own password whilst I remain fully in charge of adminstrating those folders
accidently shared dropbox with samsung int. how do i undo ?
