Hi there, nancy16! Welcome to the Dropbox Community!
Is it possible that the link you sent these users, was a "can view" link, instead of a "can edit" one?
If they received a "can view", saving the folder to their account, would only save a copy, not the actual folder.
Can you ask them to go to their "Shared" tab and see if they perhaps need to add the folder to their account from there?

It is a "can edit" link. I'll probably use google drive - the problem there was the email was freezing in outlook, but I finally managed to have it unfreeze long enough to forward the email to gmail, and from there I can click on all 34 files and download them - eventually. Dropbox would have been easier.

I also tried the "email to dropbox" thing - but I guess they aren't actually attachments but links to files in google drive, so it's not working. Sigh.
