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.
Thank you both for your patience and great help.
Indeed as explained before I was unable to open the given shared link in the "un-logged" status.
Whatever I was trying, the allowed link gave access to my whole box.
Mark Mc has explained the possible mistake I probably made.
However in the mean time I had made additional succesful tests.
I managed to send a shared link to a computer without Dropbox installed. There I was able to verify the expected results , just as explained by 310EI in the posts above.
To convince myself completely I clicked on his given shared folter as well, with the password "shared".
Password use had been tested as well. (shared link with regular email and password given by telephone)
So, I think that I'm (almost) fully updated now. It is indeed important to become famiiar with the various functions, before entering to more intensive "real life" work.
An important thing I learned also by myself is not to share to collaborative folders.No harm has been done, but I realized a bit late, that most people of the 30 participants had too low computer skills. Not very safe , considering the possible disasters. But again, it's better to know the risks in advance.
Thanks for helping on this topic.
My apology to topic starter Claire for "steeling" your topic, but I'm convinced that you appreciated the valuable comments received.
