Emailing Link to ONLY one folder
Hi. I would like to email a link to ONLY one folder from my dropbox account. If I email a link to a friend, will that friend also be able to see all the other photos in my account? Thank you. C.
I made a test just now.
- I have used the website to sent a "shared link" with a message generated automatically to some email-address@hotmail.com, not in any way related to Dropbox
- I the closed the Dropbox service on my PC.
- I opened the received message and clicked on the link, which showed the contents of the folder. But to my surprise I was able to navigate to any other folder of my account. It appears that I had been logged in (or still was logged in, which is more probable)
So, something was not right is this attempt, because I shouldn't be able to see any other folders, especially those upwards in the tree structure. I'm not yet convinced that the function works as expected.
I will make some other tests, and make sure to be logged off from Dropbox completely (and this forum as well), before clicking the link on a new message..
