Hi rclh57, thanks for contacting us!

It sounds like the  user sent you a shared link to a folder on their account.

You could add the folder or files in that link to your account, however, they won't update automatically, since you're only making a copy of that link at that moment.

You would need to keep the URL saved somewhere in order to be able to access it and any updates they may make to files there.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
