Shared team folder not displaying on desktop

Hello. I have tried all the suggested solutions via the help centre. When admin sent the link it came as an invite to edit > go to folder, I clicked the link which takes me to dropbox via my browser, but there is no add to dropbox option that I recall from other shared folders. I have full access online via my browser, but cant for the life of me find a way to get it into my desktop dropbox folder. Help!

  • If they sent you a link its a read only folder so its designed to be viewable via the website only. The person who sent you the link needs to send you a shared folder rather than a link 🙂

      Hello. Thanks for the reply.

      Admin have tried to resend the link. This is what I get in my inbox (with personal details edited). Still cant get it on my desktop! I can see and access the restricted parent folders on my desktop, but the folder containing the one I need is empty

       

       

       

      Hi Ian,

       s invited you to edit the folder "ACT" on Dropbox.

      s said:
      "Ok this is not a read only link it is a "can edit" share. Nor were the others but trying again!"

      This folder can be found in ACT › ACT Core › ACT Central Finance.

      Go to folder 


      Enjoy!
      The Dropbox team

       

      Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

      Problem solved. Probably the non read only link catching up, Thanks for your help.
