Use this interactive demo to learn how to share a Dropbox folder with others in a few clicks.

Quick summary

Sharing a Dropbox folder lets you instantly collaborate with teammates or clients by granting them view or edit access directly from your Dropbox account. Once you send the share invitation, recipients receive an email with a link to the folder — no downloads required.


Steps

  1. Sign in to the Dropbox website and access your account.
  2. Navigate to the folder you want to share.
  3. Hover over the folder and click the Share button, or right-click the folder and select Share.
  4. In the dialog box, enter the email addresses of the people you want to share with.
  5. Choose whether recipients can view or edit the folder.
  6. Click Share folder to send the invitation.
  7. Recipients will receive an email notification with a link to the shared folder.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing folders in Dropbox is one of the fastest ways to enable real-time collaboration across teams and external stakeholders without sending large file attachments. With granular permission controls — view or edit — you stay in full control of who can make changes to shared content. Dropbox folder sharing works across devices and requires no additional software, making it an essential workflow for remote teams, project managers, and anyone who needs to distribute files securely at scale.
