    Hi erikasimon20, welcome to our Community! 

     

    I'm going to need a bit more info, in order to look closer into this. 

     

    Do you get any error when trying to access the folder, or do they not get the email at all? 

     

    Did you add the person directly to the shared folder, using these steps? 

     

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
