I got a Dropbox link but I can't edit the document in it

Hi, I received a dropbox link but cannot modify the document directly: when I clik on the link, I can see the document but I can only download it or make comments, and not modify it directly. Thanks ...

    That's the share link for. 😉 If you want edit right, ask the sender use shared file/folder, instead, and give you such rights there. Good luck.
