The option to save a folder from a view-only link to your Dropbox still exists. The button says Copy to Dropbox.

    We only getting Join Folder option. is there maybe some setting we need to change. We tried every link share option possible its not giving us COPY TO DROPBOX thats for new folders only because when we tried and old folder that we were able to SAVE IT before, it would still allows us to save it. So maybe new default settings on folders not allow it to "COPY TO DROPBOX" ?

      Hey atcinla, let's jump right into this! 

       

      Have you made sure that you have the available space, in order to copy the folder into your Dropbox account? 

       

      Does this happen with every new folder, or just a specific one? 

       

      Let me know more!

        Yes. I have enough space. This is happening with all new folders. I don’t see from anyone anymore that I could “save the folder” i have multiple photographers and videographers they all send me content via Dropbox and lately nobody has been able to send me “Save Folder” option.
