If I share a folder with someone, will they access the updated versions of the files in it?

If I share a folder with someone, and then subsequently add files to that folder - will they be able to see the updated versions?

Thank you very much

    Hey fibrehibre71, thanks for your question!

     

    Indeed, when you share a folder with someone, they can access the files inside and even if it's a shared folder or a shared link, the updates are live, so every time the recipient/member accesses the link/folder, they'll see the updated versions of the files.

     

    I hope this helps!
