How to Share an Individual File to Dropbox by Email?
Often, we want to share specific files from a folder. Instead of sending the entire folder, you can simply select a particular file and share it via Dropbox by email.
For example, I want to share the ‘New wallpaper’ file from the ‘My Photos’ folder. Follow these steps to share the file on Dropbox. Here’s how:
Step 1: Click on the folder from the left panel and select the file you want to share, click on the Share button.
Step 2: Adjust access settings before sharing any file. For that Click on the Settings button.
Step 3: You can change both File and Link viewing settings accordingly.
Step 4: Now enter the email address of the person you want to share this file and Click Share file
Note: As you can see, you can send an invitation email to the person to access this file. Alternatively, you can create and copy the file link and share this link explicitly via email or messaging apps.
Step 5: The recipient will receive an invitation mail to view the file ‘New Wallpapers.jpg’ on Dropbox
Please notice that according to the settings we configured for the file, only view access has been allowed. So the person can only view the document. They can’t make any changes to it. They can download it to make a copy of the document on their PC.
It is very handy for sharing things with others like the collection of pictures.
