I have shared a folder so anyone with the link can view it.
Does that mean that all file within the folder can be viewed/downloaded ? That is what I want.
Do I have to share each file in the folder individually?
Under "Who can access" it says "only you" after each file name.
Thank you,

If you shared a link to the folder, anyone with that link can view and download anything in that folder.
Under "Who can access" it says "only you" after each file name.
That refers to a shared folder, not a shared link. If you haven't explicitly invited specific people to a folder, then it's not shared and only you have access. This is separate from sharing a link (even if it's the same folder).
