    Hey bugoessorn, welcome to our Community and happy 2023!

     

    May I ask what plan you're on at the moment? 

     

    The advanced settings for shared links such as setting a password, expiration date or disabling downloads are only available to customers on Dropbox Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans. 

     

    Keep me posted!

Hi dmgonzales, thanks for posting here today! 

 

You can edit the info in a folder, without needing to put the password in the shared link again. Once the link has been password-protected, it'll remain that way unless you change it, or unless the link expires. 

 

I hope this helps!
