Hi JanH45, you mentioned that you provided them with a link for editing, however you later on said that there isn't a link.
Do they have issues adding content to the link you provided them or something different? Would you mind clarifying for me?

In my previous response I copied the view you have in Dropbox. In the example the view was for a folder that did not have a link included. That's why the last sentence included the wording "There isn’t a link for editing. Create link"
They have added contents, such as photos to the folder.
