    Hi Marion Wilhelmy, thanks for posting on the Community!

     

    Currently, all shared links are a one-way, read-only link, which don't allow any edits to files there.

     

    However, you can create Google documents and make the shared link with edit rights.

    Hope this helps!

No probs, Marion Wilhelmy, enjoy your weekend!

 

Just so you know, you can share folders, which will allow you to edit files inside the folder with other people, but they need a Dropbox account of their own.
