Can the recipients of a shared link access my entire Dropbox account?
Hi.
If I share the link to a folder in my DropBox space on a forum site do the users have access to all my content or just the ocntents of that specific shared folder?
Many thanks.
Gafyn
Hey Gaf68! Welcome to our Community.
The shared link that you’re creating for a specific folder will only allow other users to access that same folder.
Nothing else in your Dropbox account will be accessible or visible to them.
Let me know, if you have any other questions though.
