Network path: not shared
I am a member (not admin) of a shared folder. I received an invite, joined, looked at pictures. It is in my File Explorer list of folders. When I right-click on that folder and look at properties, under the Sharing tab, it says Network Path: Not Shared.
Does this mean this folder is not shared? The invite said I had edit privileges. If I put a file in this folder, will it automatically share with other members?

Have they looked in their copy of the folder to see if the file is there. They won't receive a notice each time a file is added. The only notification option, if they have it enabled, is a weekly digest of activity in their shared folders.

That tab is not related to Dropbox. It refers to the sharing functionality within Windows.

Anything that happens within that folder is synced with all other members. If you have edit access and add a file, all other members will receive it.
