7. Sharing read only links to files or folders
If you do not require the other person to edit the files you are
sharing, you can just share a link to that folder or file.
The person you’re sharing with doesn’t have to have a dropbox
account to download the files.
And if you update the file, they see the updated version.

8. Sharing Links - From your Desktop
If you have the Dropbox desktop application on
your computer, simply control-click (or right-click)
on the file to open its contextual menu. Choose
Share Dropbox link. The link will be copied and
you can immediately paste it anywhere.

appears. Enter the email addresses of the

This preview page is also what others will see
