Sharing not possible

We are using PHP on our Webserver. From this site we need to move files to private PC (For translation) and back again.

 

It is working.

 

But I can only sent a link to my translator from my dropbox acount. I would prefer to be able to share the folders with the translator. How can I do that.

 

The option share is NOT visual for this API folder only visual for all mu other folders.

 

regards

Tinus

    Hi Tinus, unfortunately, app folders are incompatible with shared folders. That is, app folders can't contain shared folders, be contained in shared folders, or themselves be shared as shared folders.

    If you need your app to interact with shared folders, you'll need to use full Dropbox access.
