You can share a link to the folder, but it will be view/download only.

Rich, the problem with sharing a view only link (hence my question) is it still says the name of my team/business and shows logo too on the page the link takes people to. I want to do that exact thing but make it so it doesn’t show any of that information on the link page!?

    I guess I’m asking about sharing a folder where all this info is kept private? I’m trying to share a bunch of free to use artwork but I’m a anon artist. I won’t stay anon as an artist if it says “file owned by” or “file shared by” and then says my name or business name!?
