In case the user wants, it will be nice if there will be an option to adjust settings in the admin console for example "anyone with a link" for all folder in drpbox. After that one click on "copy link" will generate link under this settings without the need to manage the creation of the link for ant folder or file specifically. Just one click on "copy link" and send to anyone and thats all

Hi @mipui, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Could you clarify how this would work exactly, with step-by-step instructions?

 

Are the currently sharing features in the admin console not suitable for your purposes?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hi @Jay I set the settings in the admin console to "anyone with a link" when I need to create a link I need to click on share folder and then create link and the manage the settings of the view link to "anyone with a link". My office staff is not good at computers. To much clicking for them. I wish I could set all my Dropbox so I would just have to click on the blue "copy link" button and it will be already set to "anyone with a link" and all that is left to be done is paste it in the Email and send it to the client to view the files. So simple yet not available at the moment by Dropbox.

Hi from me too, @mipui! Can you please upload a screenshot of your sharing settings on the Admin Console, plus one more showing what you see when creating a new shared link and going to the link’s settings?

 

I’d like to have a visual and further assist.

Hi @Nancy the settings are "anyone with a link" and when i do share-->view link tab-->mange settings I need to change it from "people invited" to "anyone with a link" and the "save" close copy and paste the link created. So many clicks... instead it could be one click. If you are from the staff you can see my long conversation with Jared from your special team. I think I drove him mad until I realised there is no solution to my problem in the current settings of Dropbox. Many screen shots there including screen record. Hope you will generate something new in Dropbox.

Hi there @mipui - thanks for the additional information there.

 

We've passed your feedback on to the team and you can let us know if you have anything else to add in the meantime.
