Hi @unsophisticated-sophisticate , thanks for joining the Community.

You should have the option to share view-only links to users using these steps.

Additionally, on a Dropbox Professional plan, you can add passwords to those links as well.

Regarding account access, do you mean to track who logs into your Dropbox account, or who is accessing those links?

This will help me to assist further!

Thank you for the response. So, here's my problem. Before posting here, I read through those instructions several times, to no avail. So, I went to ChapGPT for help, same thing. Regarding the links to the account, the system only allows me to make a single link. In fact, the instructions read, "You can create a link to any file or folder in your Dropbox account and share it with others." Notice that the instructions say "a link." It also says, "and share it with others." I can share "it" with others, but I can't share [them] with others. 

Regarding the password, the instructions say customers, "can add a password to a shared link on dropbox.com or on the Dropbox mobile app. When someone opens the link, they'll need the password to see its contents." Again, the instructions use the letter "a" and "the," when referring to the password; "add a password" to "a shared link." When someone opens "the" link, they'll need "the" password. Singular.

Lastly, regarding an account access log, I meant when an assigned link is accessed by whoever has the link and the necessary password. Not the particular individual, e.g., IP address, person's name. That would probably take some sort of Secret Service or FBI-type software. 😉      

So, just to clarify, you can create multiple shared links, and have different passwords for each link on your Dropbox account. 

Are you instead looking to create multiple shared links in bulk without having to create them manually, or to have different passwords for a single shared link?

Regarding the account log, currently, there isn't a feature using shared links that will allow you to track when it was opened. You could use Dropbox Transfer for that feature, or DocSend. 

"So, just to clarify, you can create multiple shared links, and have different passwords for each link on your Dropbox account." This is what I am trying to accomplish.

"Are you instead looking to create multiple shared links in bulk without having to create them manually?" If this is possible, that would be good. If not, I am fine creating them individually. 

"or to have different passwords for a single shared link?" No.

"Regarding the account log, currently, there isn't a feature using shared links that will allow you to track when it was opened." I think that I read that this feature is available under a business plan. Nonetheless, it isn't that important to me. 

Hi unsophisticated-sophisticate,

Nonetheless, it isn't that important to me. ----- You actually can, with the Dropbox Professional via the Dropbox Transfer feature as was mentioned by Jay . You can refer on this link for more information on how you can manage your transfer views and downloads :

Hope this helps,

Based on our discussion here, it appears Dropbox is not the tool I heard it is. Fortunately, my account is in a "trial" period, so I can cancel it without financial impact.
