Making my links not private

Hello community,

I'd like to send some WAVE files and the company asked me to ensure they are not private; how do I make my links not private? Thanks

    Hey GedalyaFolkRockRabbi, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community!

     

    Shared links created in Dropbox, are not private by default, meaning that anyone with access to the link, can access the files in the link.

     

    You'd need to create links with "view only" access, by following the steps in this article.

     

    Let me know how it goes!
