Hey John68, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community!

 

If I understand correctly, you'd like to upload some files to your Dropbox account and then share them with other people.

 

If you want to share all these files, I would suggest that you first create a folder in your Dropbox and then upload the files to it.

 

As for the sharing part, would you like to give your recipients edit access to the folder?

 

Or just allow them to simply access and/or download the files?

 

Let me know.
