How to correctly create and share folders and files

We have been using DB for over a year, and in the past few months we are having difficulty creating and sharing folders. We havve a small business and the sharing is between the owner and me, the office administrator. There must be something off with our settings. Could a savvy DB user provide us with the correct procedure to enable seamless sharing?

 

Thank you!

    Hey KJ Herbs, thanks for taking the time to post to the Dropbox Community.

     

    Would you mind giving us some more info as to why you're having trouble sharing your files and folders?

     

    Also, are you sharing them with edit access or just view access?

     

    Generally, these are the steps to share a folder through Dropbox.

     

    Take a look and let us know if that's the process you're already following and what's not working for you.

     

    Cheers!
