Sharing a File With Someone Who Doesn't Have Dropbox Installed

I'd like to send a link to share a file with a customer without requiring them to login to Dropbox. Is that possible?

    Hey Keke3!
     
    To invite multiple users to a folder or file, you’ll have to enter their email addresses separately. 
     
    If they are getting prompted to sign it, could it be that you’re sending them a shared folder instead of sending them a shared link to the folder?
     
    As Rich also mentions, you can find more info about what a shared link is and how to create it here. 
     
    Let us know of any updates! :grinning:
