I no longer see the "anyone with link to view" option for shared links on my Dropbox team.
Help! I feel like I am going crazy trying to figure this out. I have a business account and recently have had trouble creating links so that anyone with the link can view.
This is a new issue and one I haven't had before.
It used to be so easy to create folders and links to share easily with colleagues but not no matter where I look, I am not seeing that option anyomore.
It only gives me the option to invite individual people to view/edit the folders I am creating.
Is there something I missing or a restriction I mistakenly added to my account? I'd rather "anyone with the link to view" be my default than it be protected as 90% of the time I want to create links that are easily shareable and viewable.
See attached screenshot. Is anyone else having this issue as of late?
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!

Ok I think I may have figured out a clue to the issue. It seems that just the subfolders from this particular Folder (Let's call it the JP Folder) are not giving me an option to share as a link that "anyone can view with link."
When I move the content from this JP Folder to other Folders, then I have am able to create a shareable link that has open access.When I go to the Settings icon and Manage Permissions of the JP Folder, I don't see any way to change it in way that will allow me to open up the shareable permissions for the subfolders underneath it
Thanks Rich. Yes have went there and still no luck. I am close to deleting my business account and trying to re-sign up or switching to another platform. Something so basic as sharing a folder link and am having issues.

Have you checked the shared link settings in your account?
