Can I share content outside of the Family room with people outside of the plan?

Hi! Could you please tell if it possible to share separate files stored in a Dropbox Family Room to people outside of the family plan? Like, on the Internet without restrictions ). 

 

Thanks!

    Hey there, @AustinA1, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Keep in mind that you can’t transfer or share an entire Family Room folder with people outside of your plan.

     

    If you’d like to send specific files and folders from the Family Room folder to people outside your Family plan, you can use Dropbox Transfer to deliver a copy they can download or save in their own Dropbox account. 

     

    If you have any questions, let me know!
