How can I view files that have been shared with me?

Hello,  My professor says she has shared files with me that I need to review and take notes on. However, when I open my Dropbox, I can't find the files anywhere. Is there somewhere I'm not looking?...

I have checked the sharing tab online and I have no files in there. I believe she is uploading the content through a shared folder, but it might be a Dropbox transfer. I'm not sure what the difference is. I will ask her to resend me the invitation and hopefully that works.

In any case, let us know how it goes, thanks!
