Can files be shared directly from dropbox cache?
Can Files be shared directly from .dropbox cache?
We have some alerts triggering for this path from (.dropbox cache/old_files or .dropbox cache/new_files).
Our DLP solution triggers alerts for this path as the synch happens, but these files are not viewable.
Please confirm whether there is an option to share any file available in dropbox cache.

Hi PriyaDevaraj, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Currently, it isn't possible to share any files from the Dropbox cache folder.
It is used as a staging ground during the sync process, and it isn't recommended to directly edit or interact with files in the cache.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
