Clarification needed re: sharing of folders and sub-folders please?
Hi. I am using Dropbox for the purpose of showing photos of an entire large model car collection to prospective buyers. I have one main folder, within which, are 20 or so individual sub folders. The sub-folders are needed to organize/categorize the collection by model brand. So for example, there's Main Folder>SubFolder A, SubFolder B, and so forth.
The whole idea was/is, that if I send a SINGLE LINK to a prospective auction house or buyer, the person receiving that link would in turn be able to open and browse ALL of the folders within the MAIN folder. I did not want to have to have a separate link for each SUB-folder.
Can someone access/view ALL folders if I send a SINGLE link? That is what I need. If not, can anyone recommend a better way or platform.? Thanks!
Mike

Hey mikes425, thanks for posting to our Community!
A Dropbox shared link gives access to the contents of the file/folder it's created for.
So, basically, if you share a link to the parent folder, your recipients will be able to access all the subfolders as well.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
