OK. How about this. When I copy the link for a file into th email, when its opened it reveals the entire folder, as well as others. How can I copy a link to the document and ONLY the document?

As you looking at it as yourself EZTejas ? If so its possible Dropbox is detecting that you are already logged in and so shows everything. Try looking at the link via an incognito window. 

 

e.g. that link you posted above when I access it appears as just a single document

    Its possible you are logged in. 

     

    The link you sent for the document above only opens as a file. So it is externally going out as a document only. As long as you are doing the link in the same way in the email

    Actually it works the opposite way. I can see the doc, but others see the folder. And now the others are being told to sign up for dropbox to see anything.
