How do I resend the invitation to a shared folder (non business account)
If I search in the forum or on google for "how to resend a dropbox invitation to a shared folder" I find an answer for business accounts, but I just have a normal individual pro account. I shared a ...
You can't? This is horrible. Really, really bad. I create a shared folder. I create a list of invitees. I send them the link. Then, I update the folder. I can see all my invitees listed. BUT~ You are telling me I cannot resend the invite? Why on earth is this kind of dysfunction programmed into an app I pay $200./US yearly for? It should be stupid simple to program this. Please, Db. do it!
I agree. It's a basic use case. You can send them the link the first time. There's all this flexibility for each person to rename shared folders (and that's great!). So one doesn't necessarily know what link to send them, something like dropbox.com/home/new-name-or-orginal-or-what-was-it?. Meanwhile on their side, they might barely use it and don't remember where that thing you shared with them 6 months ago is.

That's why there's the Sharing page, so you can see and access everything that has been shared with you.
Also, inviatations don't work like they did previously. Before, when you invited someone to a shared folder, they had to accept the invitation before they were a member. Now, as soon as you invite someone they have access. They can add and remove the folder from their Dropbox at will, without ever changing their membership status within the share. Because of this, there's no reason to re-invite someone that's already a member. They already have access. Only when they leave the share, removing their access completely, would you be able to re-invite someone.
"there's no reason to re-invite someone that's already a member."
That's where you're very wrong. I put extensive instructions in the message and they say they never received an invite. Now, how do I go back to the message to retrieve the instructions - I can't - a complete waste of my time....useless and unbelievably bad UX.
