Keep me posted!
When I create a folder, I am adding the "View Only", "Password Protected" information to my link. I have been practicing on myself.
However, when I send the folder, the information is transmitted and I open the link without requiring a password. We have a Business Standard plan. What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thank you, Diane G
Hi, thanks for answering my question. I was sending it from a work computer, and accessing it on my personal iphone.

Hey dmgonzales, sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify if you were logged into your Dropbox account when trying the link from your phone?
Hi, Walter. I am not sure I understand your question.
I was logged into my firm Dropbox account on my firm computer when sending the dropbox link to my personal email. I accessed the email link on both my iphone and my ipad, and the data came over to me unencrypted and unprotected.

So, on your iPhone and your iPad, were you also logged into the same Dropbox account dmgonzales ?
