Dropbox Plus - Shared Linked Folder with Password Turned On
When I copy the link and test to confirm a password is required, the folder opens with access to everything without a password being entered. Is this because Dropbox Plus does not send links password protected?
For the folder I would like to share, I have selected Share > Create a Link > Link Settings > People with Password > I Entered a Password > Expiration On > Selected a Date > Save.
I cleared both browsers of their histories. I then copied the link from one browser into another and voila. I was asked for a password. Thank you for your assistance.
