Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
I used to be able to invite friends to have edit access to particular folders. This no longer seems to be possible. Am I missing something. I am on the free plan. I feel a bit nervous about handing out an edit link.
Hi @slimy_asparagus, you should be able to share a folder, using these steps.
Do you have any issues when you try to follow them?

No error messages. Just in the past I was able to share a folder and a dialog would come up that would mean I could enter people's emails. I can no longer find that functionality.
I can still send people an edit link, but there maybe people who have access to the message that theoretically should not have edit access.

Thanks. I am not sure why I could not do this the other day as I have done it many times before. May be I was too stressed.
