I have recently learned that when I share a folder with anyone, they can see all the folders and files in my Dropbox. How can I limit this so that people only see the folder I share with them?
Just to clarify...

When using a share link, no one will be able to see any parent or sibling folder, period. They can only see the specific file or folder that you've linked to. If you've linked to a folder, they can see anything in the folder, including any sub-folders. The only person that will see more than what was linked to is the owner of the link, and only when they're logged in to their account.
and choose the can view permission only if you don't wants others to change the contents
This would only apply to a shared folder; not a share link. Share links do not provide modify access at all. They are, by nature, view-only.
to test the link open it in incognito mode and you'll see completey different view
don't forget to remove remove the sharing link after you finish and choose the can view permission only if you don't wants others to change the contents
