Download Link

Question

Hello.

I just moved from the old Dropbox to this new set up. So far so good, I managed to upload the file I want to share today without a problem.

And I got the Link for it.  On the old dropbox, at that point, there was another step between this, and letting someone download a file that I sent him the Link for...

That has now disappeared. All I do is send the link, and everyone who has it, can download the file with that Link?

Thank you

Thank you for your help...

After spending some time on the new software, I found that it had done exactly what I wanted it to do.

However, without telling me of that, as the old software used to do.

I have been an occasional user for many years and was surprised by the many changes. None of which I was interested in, if I may say so...

I was still registered via an old e-mail address which has been unused for several years. And when I was trying too use dropbox I was not allowed to proceed unless I confirmed my identity by answering to a mail, I could not receive.

If I may add, I am not too happily excited about the development which now asks humans several times a day, to provide proof to a computer that we are actually humans. F.e. I was not able to get back into my g-mail account, because I did not want to turn my mobile number over to Google.

But that is different story, of course....

So I set up this new account with my present e-mail... and the new surface is where complications started, but now everything is set up correctly and I could send the file.

So, thank you again.
