Members that you’ve chosen to be a part of the
shared folder will now receive their invitation
email. It will state who created the share and its
name and add a button for them to click to be redirected in a
new browser tab to the shared folder location.
STEP If you want you can enter a message in the
lower section of the folder creation window;
it’s not necessary but courteous to those you’re
inviting to share it with. When you’re done, click the Share
button to create the folder and automatically let Dropbox send
off the email invitations.
STEP Now everyone has access, you can begin to
populate the new folder. You can drag and drop,
or use the Upload files option to the right of
the screen to add content. Likewise, the other members of the
shared folder can do the same, although not those who have
only been selected with View access levels.
STEP Obviously the great benefit of sharing files
and folders is that you and your colleagues are
able to collaborate on the content. For example,
click on the files you’ve copied into your new shared folder. To
the right you can enter Comments for sections of words, or
even on images. STEP If you have any existing files or folders in your
Dropbox store, you can tick the boxes next to
them followed by the Copy link to the right.
Then, highlight the newly created shared folder and the Copy
button to transfer the selected content to the shared folder. STEP To assist those who frequently view and edit
files within a shared folder, you can click the
three full stops to the right of a file and then
you’re able to view the file’s Version History. This will give you a
breakdown of what edits, comments and alterations have been
applied since the file was uploaded to the folder. STEP How to Use Dropbox Sharing
