hi Nancy, we send out 20-100 Dropbox links a week. All of them are view only shared folders.
a recent change in UI has led to constant requests for write access, and our customers cannot access their files until we stop and approve each one. I've had six in the last 30 hours, and roughly 15 emails about them, because they keep going back and clicking join repeatedly. 15 might be low. like they should be able to do with a final delivered product that shouldn't require admin intervention to approve them.
