View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
hi,
I was invited to join a dropbox folder which is to heavy for my account.
I am just interested in reading the folder, not editing or uploading something.
Is it possible to just read without the need to buy storage volume?
And is it possible to read a folder without having a dropbox account, just by opening a link?
Thank you
Hi @Stefan12, thanks for messaging the Community!
You can ask the creator of the shared folder to create a shared link to the folder.
This will allow you to view the folder on the site, without having to add it to your account and take up quota.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
