Cross organisation projects and sharing files and folders with friends and family member is
one of Dropbox’s key features. It’s something that Dropbox has worked on to make as easy as
possible; removing the previous Team link and focusing instead on consumer-level sharing.
Using Dropbox Sharing is remarkably easy. It’s quick to set up, simple to understand and implement and yet can be
quite powerful when used with other members.

How to Use Dropbox Sharing
To get started with Dropbox Sharing, locate
and click on the Sharing link in the Dropbox
interface sidebar. This will launch the currently
shared files and folders set up page, with some brief but handy
feature information.
STEP Let’s start by creating a new folder that will
be shared with others. Click the blue button to
the right of the screen labelled Create Shared
Folder. This will open a pop-up box offering two options, ‘Create
and share a new folder’ and ‘Share an existing folder’. For now,
make sure the first option is highlighted and select Next.
STEP You’ll need to name the new folder to begin
with. Remember to give it a logical name,
as others who you share with will be able to
identify it when the email comes through telling them that
they’re now a part of a shared folder group. STEP Under the folder name, enter the email
addresses of the people who you want to share
the folder with; you can also just enter their
names if you’ve signed up for Dropbox via Google, as it will use
your Google account address book. You can also click the Can
Edit button to the side and detail the user’s access levels. STEP Dropbox Cloud Services
