My public folder is no longer being shared to everyone, why?
I have been using DropBox for over 10 years ... but recently things have changed, in W11 seems very different.
For example, I have a public folder .. and I set this to be available to all to view ....

Most likely, you're looking to create a shared link to a folder. Could you try the exact steps listed in this article to see if this helps?

2 years agoHi sargan, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you referring to the old Public folder feature which was deprecated on September 1st 2017, or a normal shared link to a folder?
This will help me to assist further!

No idea what the folder is/was.
Until I upgraded to W11 DropBox was a square Blue icon on desktop (shortcut) now its a folder so definitely changes.
What I want is a folder that I can put public access items ....for me that is a number of files, and a number of sub folders with files ..... want to be able to click on a file or folder get a link and share it ..... has worked until now.
If I have to share every item individually that is too difficult.
Happy enough with other folders, but do need 1 public access folder, how do I recover that ?
