    How do I share folders with other people?

    Dropbox offers easy ways to share files or folders. Shared folders are ideal for groups of people who would like to collaborate on the same files together. When you create a shared folder and add other people to it, its files will appear in their Dropbox just as they do in yours. Any member of the folder can add, delete, or edit files within that folder.  
    See below for step-by-step instructions on how to share folders from the Dropbox website or from any device (phone, tablet, or desktop).

    How do I share folders with other people?

    Files or folders in your Dropbox folder can be shared, instantly. All you have to do is select the file and then select Share link from the Dropbox menu. Once you do, you can send the link to anyone over email, instant message, text message...you name it. People who click the link will get a preview of the file or folder on the Dropbox website. They'll also have the option to download a copy of the file. If the person you share the link with already has the file or folder saved in their Dropbox, they will be taken directly to that file or folder's location.  
    Note: If you share a link to a video, the recipient will be able to watch up to 15 minutes of it on the preview page on the Dropbox website. For a longer video, the recipient will need to download the file or watch from the Dropbox mobile app to see all of it.  
    If you're a Dropbox Pro or Dropbox for Business user, you can control who accesses your links and for how long by setting passwords and expirations for them. Alternatively, you can use view-only permissions for shared folders. Links are ideal for replacing email attachments, whereas view-only permissions for shared folders are useful for keeping collaborators continuously up to date without giving them the ability to change files.

    File requests allows you to collect and receive files—big or small — from anyone, right into your Dropbox. File requests are ideal for receiving a large file or collection of files, collecting photos after a special event, and requesting submissions from coworkers and clients.
