Can I locally share my Dropbox folder on my Windows machine?
My wife and I have files we want to share that are in Dropbox and are synced to our computer in my local Dropbox folder. She has her own local account on the same machine and I want to know if I can ...
Hi Willie602, it might be possible to share a folder from one computer profile to another on your Windows machine.
However, as this isn't directly related to Dropbox, we wouldn't be able to provide any specific steps on how to do this, as this would be a Windows feature.
Likewise, we wouldn't be able to predict how files would sync to your Dropbox account when any edits are made in the folder.

Dropbox StaffHey Willie602Let's have a look into this!
I'm assuming that her own local account is on a different OS profile, right? If not, then feel free to clarify.
The best way that I'd suggest would be for you to share the folder using these steps. Of course, she'd need to have available space in her account to add the folder.
Also, the changes should sync both to her local Dropbox folder, and her account online.
If you wish to do it using your OS, you should be able to do so, however the content you're sharing with her would need to be added in her local Dropbox folder in order for the changes to sync to her account too.
I'll be waiting for your updates!
