Shared folders count in full against your account (you aren't accessing files in another persons account, you are accepting them into your account), which is why your account will run out of space if you accept the invite - there is no way around this, you need to ask the sharer to send you a shared link instead. I can't even open the new flies my vendor is sending me due to this issue. Shared folders require a Dropbox account in order to accept the invite.Īlso, now that I have downloaded dropbox, I keep getting messages that I have run out of room and have to upgrade for a fee. What I am getting from all the comments is that the user set up the link incorrectly?įrom the second part of your post, the user sent you a shared folder invite, not a shared link.
When the link is opened, the person you shared it with will be able to download the file to their own computer or mobile phone.I too keep getting asked to download dropbox, just to view a link. Now you can quickly and easily share your Dropbox files and folders with others. Dropbox for iOS and Blackberry should also work in a similar fashion. Any changes made to items in the original location the symlink referenced will no longer sync to your Dropbox account. A list will appear with Copy link at the very top and a list of other mobile apps you can use to share the link with. Any items that were synced to your Dropbox account via a symlink that was within a shared folder and that linked outside of a shared Dropbox folder prior to mid-2019 can be found in a new folder named Shared Symlink Backups. On your smartphone, tap the drop-down arrow, then select Share. Share files via links from your smartphone A browser window will open with the link in the address bar, just like when using. After you choose to get the link, a new browser tab will open with the link in the address bar, which you can then copy and share with anyone.įrom your PC, right-click on a folder or file, then go to Dropbox > Get link. You can also hover over a folder or file, then click on the get link icon, to the right of the file name. We'll show you to use the share links from, your PC, and your smartphone.įrom, either right-click on a folder or a file, then select the Get Link option. It lets you easily share your files and folders with others, even if they don't have a Dropbox account. Dropbox users can now share files via links, instead of of relying on the public folder.
