Hello atcinla,

 

Thank you for reaching out! I wanted to follow up on an important update across Dropbox (including your mobile device) that addresses the question you had here. 

 

Removal of the Join Folder Option from View-Only Shared Folder Links

We introduced the capability to join a folder directly from a view-only link to make collaboration even easier. While well meaning, we don’t always get it right. We've heard your concerns, and after careful consideration, we've decided to remove this feature. This change will be implemented within the next couple of days. Going forward, recipients visiting a view-only folder link will no longer see the option to Join Folder. No action or setting modification is required on your part. This change affects both new and existing view-only folder links.
