Allow to download a file

[Pass Hill]

Is it possible using Dropbox to send a direct link (not email) to someone else so it's possible for him/her to download (not only view) my file? Dropbox guidelines & advices do not give answers concerning "download". Dropbox is using terms like editing, views, etc.

Hey @Pass Hill, thanks for posting in Dropbox Community!

With Dropbox, you can create a shareable link to any file or folder in your Dropbox account. Anyone with the link can view and download the contents, but can’t edit them.

This article will give you all the info you need and steps on how to create a shared link.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Hannah!

Not being able to edit it...that also means they cannot delete it, yes? But they can definitely download it?

Thanks in advance,

Alan
