How to change view only settings in Dropbox family account?

When I share a folder or send a link to the people in my family account it's sent as view only. We collaborate on documents so I want them to be able to edit it. How do I change this setting?

Thanks for your input,

Landis

    Hey landiswyatt, I'll be happy to help! 

     

    You can change the permissions on your shared content, using the steps mentioned here. You'll see how to do this when creating a shared folder, or with existing members.
