Hi
If i share a folder with multiple people, do people see who else i have shared it with? If so, how do i avoid that?
Thanks
If its a shared folder (i.e. one that they have read/write access to) then yes, they can see everybody else in that share. There is no way around that I'm afraid.
If its a read only shared link then no, that information isnt stored as you dont need an account to view it

Thanks so much for you fast response. Appreciated.
Sorry to push this again after so long but I'm confused. I shared a folder with my business partner - his name (avatar) shows as one of the members. I then invited a couple of clients by sending them the link, and they tell me they have access but their avatars don't show up and when I click on "see all members" it doesn't show them either. This seems a little odd, and apart from anything else I'd like to go into the list of members and make sure they have read-only access and not editing. What am I missing?
Thanks

Sending someone a shared link to a folder doesn't invite them as a member of the folder. The link just provides them with view/download access. If you want to see them appear in the member list of the folder, then you need to invite them to the share.
