How do I share a folder with someone not in my contacts?
When I go to my Drobox folders to share, I type in the email address of someone whose email it does not recognize. I can't share the folder because of this. This person is actually in my Outlook and gmail contacts, but still to no avail.
Thank you for helping me.

Hi benreppond, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
You should be able to share a folder with any email address, regardless if the user is in your contacts list or not.
What error are you getting exactly when sharing the folder?
Could you attach a screenshot showing this error, while hiding the email address, in order to assist further?
