2FA and shared folders
Hi If I enable 2FA on my dropbox account how does this effect current users I have given access to some shared folders? Will they still have access or will they need to also enable 2FA? Thanks ...
- 6 years agoHi Gary, enabling 2FA only affects your account when you login to it.It doesn’t affect users who are members of your shared folders, since they would technically be different accounts.Hope this helps to clarify matters!

Hi tbbalfe; thanks for joining our Community!
I'm not sure if this will do the trick for you, but the closest I can think about your use-case is our shared links feature which can be password protected if needed.
For context, Dropbox Professional and Business customers can add a password (or an expiry date and/or even disable downloads) to a shared link on dropbox.com or on the Dropbox mobile app. When someone opens the link, they'll need the password to see its contents.
For more information, please take a look a the following Help Center article:
