Hey Kacper Jaszkowski, welcome to the Dropbox Community.

If I understand correctly, you're using some kind of integration of Dropbox with your TV, right?

Since this is not something that Dropbox officially supports, I'd suggest reaching out to the manufacturer of your device to see if they can give you any info.

Let me know what you find or if I misunderstood your issue, please get back to me with additional clarifications.

Thanks!

    No, I don't use any integration,... I have a tv guide on Dropbox and anyone with password to that tv guide which is created by Dropbox could read that tv guide, but now that password is changed every time I open Dropbox and that causes the problem because I need to change that password in any app I am using. 

    Thank you

      Hey Kacper! Hope you don’t mind, if I jump in. 

      Can you clarify what exact steps you took to set up your TV guide on Dropbox and how you share it with other users? Did you send them a shared link perhaps?

      If you can also send over a screenshot of what you see on your end, that’d be great and it’ll help us further guide you.

        Hello Mark

        Yes, I am using "shared link", and that link is changed every time,

        Now, however everything sims to work ok, the tv guide gets updated, so it just could have been the beginning of the new ''shared link".  Thank you for your cooperation.
