Is there a way to make a folder open for public access?
I thought I had a public access folder until recently, like Sept 7, 2024.
Is a way now to make a folder with public access?

Hey Deac, welcome to our forum.
Can you clarify what you mean when saying you’d like to give your folder public access?
If you’d like it to be accessible by anyone (and not just specific users), you can create a shared link for it and paste the link where it’s easily accessible by many people.
Let me know if I’ve misunderstood something though.

Nancy,
You nailed it. I have created a link and shared it and have had good results from that. Today I read something about "Public" being removed in 2017 and I let that confuse me.
So yes, the shared link works well and has not been removed.
Thanks very much.
