Dropbox Community ModeratorHey TSE_Michel, thanks for joining our Community.
If I understand correctly, you've created a folder and then created a "view-only" link for the folder, but you're not able to add the folder to your shared folders, is that right?
So, if you've created the folder and then just a view-only link, that means that the folder doesn't have any other members with edit permissions, correct?
If a folder doesn't have any other members, it's not considered a shared folder, even if you've shared it through a link.
Consequently, it won't appear in your shared folders (in the Shared tab), but it should still show up in your local Dropbox folder and your "all files" page online.
Let me know if that's not the case for you or if I misunderstood the situation!
