Question re file access

Question re file access

I've uploaded a file to my Dropbox Basic account. I need for the people I send the link to to be able to download the file. If I right-click and choose "Share with Dropbox", it says "Anyone with this link can view" (which is what I want). But in the "Who can access" column, it says "Only you".  Which is it? Will people who receive my link be able to download the file?

Hi @Mickmeister,

"Who can access" describes users that can access particular file/folder through their accounts. This doesn't account shared link view only access in any way.

Yes, if there are no other reasons for opposite. 😉

Hope this helps.
