Can I change the name of the link to a Dropbox folder ?

Hi: I have a LinkedIn account for my work background, job hunting, etc. LinkedIn allows you to upload documents, e.g., resumes to your Profile for others to view, but they cannot download them.  ...

Hi Rich:

Thank you for your feedback.

I get the above dialog box in LinkedIn from when I have used Dropbox's "link to folder" option for creating a link to insert into my LinkedIn Profile.

I just ran a test where I sent the folder link to myself in an email.

When I clicked on it, I was taken directly to the folder of files that I had linked to.

So, it appears that your hypothesis is correct, and it must have something to do with the way in which LinkedIn handles links to Dropbox folders.

Thank you for looking into this for me.
