Can I share file with specific individuals not in my team?
Excuse me - newbie to DropBox and a recent convert from Google Drive.
I'm sure this question has been asked before but I want to share a file in edit mode with only specific individuals (i.e. email addresses). I don't want just ANYONE who has the link to have access. These individuals are a supplier company to us who may or may not have their own DropBox account so I do not want to add them to our team. Is this possible ?
Hi mjmt,
As seems, you observe only the first page of your list. Did you try continue listing? Keep in mind that list metadata are provided on pieces and every piece size is NOT guarantead (despite controlable). You have to check for more results waiting and continue when needed. Don't rely that entire list will get back as an only page (in spite possible)!
Hope this claryfies matter.

Hey 0516, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community today!
Just to clarify, if you'd like the recipients of this shared file to be able to edit it, they'll need to have a Dropbox account.
In this case, you can add the file to a folder and just invite these users to the folder.
But if they don't have a Dropbox account, they can only view/download the file.
So, I guess you can send them a 'can view' link, so they can download the file, and then a file request, so they can upload their edits.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
