How can I share a voice memo file with some people?
Hi, I wish to securely send 1 hour long voice memos. I set up a dropbox transfer. It appears that I could drag and drop the file in a designated folder in my dropbox folder on computer. It seemed it uploaded to dropbox. Then I got an e-mail saying I could copy a link to send it. So I did a test and sent it to myself. I received the file via e-mail and uploaded it. I saw 2 folders, one had a bunch of files in it, the other was the voice memo. I only want to send the voice memo to people. Is there a better way to do this in which only the voice memo will be sent? I am also wondering how much space a 1 hour recording may use up on dropbox.
Thanks

Hey BurgessL, thanks for posting your question to us!
Have you tried sharing the file through a shared link?
A link gives view-download access to files you share with other people.
If you want to test this on your end, after you create the link, try to open it from a different browser or a private browsing window, otherwise, it's just going to redirect you to your account.
Let me know if you have any questions.
