I can't share one of my folders with edit rights

I'm having an issue with sharing folders. I am the owner of this folder [removed per Community Guidelines] and would like to share it with editing rights, but it doesn't work. How can I fix it?

    Welcome aboard the forum, uBear team! Hope you’re well. 

     

    Due to security reasons, we’re unable to click on any links on the forum, which is why I’ve also removed the one you uploaded. 

     

    However, from what I noticed, this was a shared link. Would you like to share your folder via link and give it edit permissions

     

    Or, do you wish to share the folder this way instead and give specific members edit access to it?

     

    Let me know.

      Hi Nancy, thanks for getting back, basically I need both options, but for now I'd like to share the folder with a specific member with editing permission. How do I do this if the folder has no "edit permission" options in default settings? The issue is with the two folders out of the rest in the root folder that contains all of them.

        Hey uBear team - sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify if this is a shared folder or a team folder instead?

         

        Are you trying to share a sub-folder that has already restricted permissions perhaps?

         

        Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
