Using Dropbox link on QR code in photo book

I am creating a photo book with Bonusprint which offers a feature to insert a QR code linking to a video.  I've added the QR code which links to the video in my Dropbox account but am concerned that this is not secure?   I do not want anyone accessing other files in my account, only the video.  I believe there is a way to add a password to a DropBox link but can't find any simple instructions.

    Thanks, Mark, that’s useful to know as I don’t have a paid account.

    Hi balloonmouse , 

     

    This is a late response, but better late than never! I wanted to let you know that our team is building a feature that will let you create a QR code to share files or folders from Dropbox. It will behave in the same way as shared links do. 

     

    We plan to ramp it up to paying customers starting next week. Hopefully this makes your workflow easier as you won't have to navigate to another tool to create QR codes that link back to Dropbox. We'd love your feedback on this feature when you start to use it! 😊

     

    Best,

    Amanda
