Sharing a link to a dropbox folder for journalists

Hello,

 

Need help with a basic query please! I need to share a Dropbox link with journalists so that they can open, view and download images. How do I create open access to this one folder which I can then share with others (who may or may not have Dropbox?)

 

Thanks

    You can use create a shared link to the folder. Recipients will be able to view and download the files within, without needing a Dropbox account.
