Is there a section I can see all shared content?

Hello everyone !   There is a section of Dropbox where I can see all the files that I have shared with others users of Dropbox?
Share
Shared Folders

    There is no such listing. When viewing your Files page, any files shared in that manner will show icons for the people you've shared them with. In the screenshot below, that's the RR icon that you see, indicating that I've shared the file with myself (through another account).

Hello...

 

To view all the COLLABORATIVE Folders/files that you're sharing with other people or those that are being shared with you, please follow the steps below.

 

  1. Login to the Dropbox web interface.
  2. Look at your sharing page.

    Hello !

    Thank you for your answer !

     

    But I did not understand how I can see the files that I have shared with other users!
    I click on the My Dropbox sharing (rainbow icon) - folders
    and I see them all the folders that I have shared with other users and folders that other users have shared with me.
    But if I click on - File (next to folders, always in the sharing section)
    I only see the files that other users have shared with me, I can not see (as folders) the files that I have shared with others.
    I would like to know if there is a way to see the files that I have shared with other users, so you have an updated list of all the files that I am sharing with other Dropbox users.

    Thanks again :)

      If you mean shared links then have a look at www.dropbox.com/links - this shows everything you share from your account as a downloadable link.

        Hello !

         

        Thank you for your answer

         

        No, I will not link from which you can then download files

         

        I mean you can see files: .PDF, .TIF, .JPG, .MP4   etc ....
        I share (read-only, as individual files can be shared read-only) directly with other Dropbox users.
