Dropbox is a great tool where you can save and share your files and projects with other people. It makes collaboration and access easier for you and for other people involved in the project you are doing because the shared folder will also appear in their Dropbox. Even sharing pictures, music, and other media files with family and friends becomes easier. Here is how you set up a shared folder in Dropbox.
1. If the folder you want to share isn't on Dropbox yet, choose which folder you want to share from your computer to your Dropbox account. Add that folder you want to share into the Dropbox folder in your computer.
2. In the Dropbox folder, right-click the folder you want to share and choose "Share this Folder."
3. To check if that folder was successfully uploaded, log in to your Dropbox account and locate the folder. Then, right-click the space beside the folder you want to share and click "Invite to Folder."
4. Once you click the "Invite to Folder" option, there's a pop up box where you can type the email addresses of the people you want to share the folder with. You can also type an optional message for the recipients. Then click "Share."
5. If for example the folder is already shared and you want to invite more people, right-click the space beside the folder and choose "Shared Folder Options." The same pop-up box will appear where you can add the email addresses of people you want to share the folder with.
6. Once you shared the folder, you will notice that the shared folder has a "People" icon on its folder while those that were not shared don't have.
7. You can also protect the files in that folder by choosing whether the person you shared the folder with can edit or only view the files in that folder. You can find these options beside the name of each person you have shared the folder.
