      <title>Where are shared files?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-for-Beginners/Where-are-shared-files/m-p/752438#M7</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I wish to create a shared file that could be updated by two people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Where does that file exist? Is it my hard drive, the other party's hard drive, the cloud, or all three?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What happens if my device is switched off, and the other party updates the file? Will I know as soon as I log in?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey there, &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1806451"&gt;@SlamDuncan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, let's jump right into this!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The first thing you want to do is to &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/create-upload/add-files" target="_blank"&gt;upload&lt;/A&gt; the file of your choice to your Dropbox account.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you use our desktop app, then the file exists online, and locally on your device, inside your Dropbox folder.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Once you do that, you can share it with the other two people, using &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/share/share-with-others" target="_blank"&gt;these&lt;/A&gt; steps. Now, if someone else edits the file, you should be able to check for any updates once you're logged into either your account online, or your desktop app.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have any questions, let me know!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
