Sharing a file with people without Dropbox accounts
I have a PDF I want to share with people so they can download it, but I don't want them to have to create a Dropbox account (or sign in) to download it.
Is there a way to do this with Dropbox? ...
Hey novalin, thanks for sending me the steps.
It sounds as if you've shared the file directly, instead of using a shared link. Can you try following these steps and share the link to them via an email or any other means?
They should be able to view the link without a Dropbox account too.

Dropbox StaffHi jkarp1010, how are you today?
It depends how you're choosing to share them. Do you use shared links, or shared folders?
In any case, the pictures should first be uploaded to your Dropbox account, therefore count against your Dropbox storage, not your email storage.
If you have any questions, let me know.
I don't know the difference between shared links and shared folders. If I have multiple photos and videos for each person, I'm guessing shared folder? Recipient can just drag videos & photos onto desktop. No editing involved. These are just to share.
