Sharing the contents of a folder
How in the world do I create a link to a folder (which has my content in it) which gives those I shared the link with access to READ the files in the folder? Sorry, but Dropbox is not intuitive for me. I don't want them to edit. I just want them to be able to VIEW the files in that folder only.

About half-way down the page.
You can also change the default for creating shared links from Can Edit to Can View in your Sharing Settings.
