  • Mark, As soon as I finished my testing I deleted the original folder - 72 Flood. I didn't rename it. I then created the current folder. Why would Dropbox insist on using a folder I deleted? That doesn't make sense.

  • @"Megan" and @"Hannah" Thank you for your direct comments and answers. I realize that I was trying to do something that cannot be done with my account - restrict access with a link. Thus, I am going to have my users create accounts so that I can restrict access. Thanks again.

  • Hi @"Megan" I removed everyone but me (of course) from the access list. I created a new link. Checked the link in a new tab - good. Sent the link in an email to the person of interest.

  • I had posted a similar item earlier. I had one response which didn't answer my questions. The subject line says it all. I am sharing a folder of photos with Can View selected. However, the recipient can edit the folder. Why???? The recipient receives an email with an Add Dropbox selection. Why would they need to add a…
