    Only way to do that would be to log into her account nthms321 as the starred section is account specific (meaning that files you star will only show as starred on your end) and allows for quick access to the files, folders, and Paper docs that you need the most. As you probably know, there are three ways to star files and folders in Dropbox: 

    • Click on the star next to the file name while you are previewing the file on the web.
    • Hover over the file in the web file browser and click on the star next to the file name.
    • Select the file by clicking the checkbox next to the file, then click "Star" on the right-hand side.

    A good way for you to access those files now would be to have her comment and mention you on those since in that way you'll be notified of the comment itself and you'd be able to easily locate it.

    Let me know if this helped please!
