Megan, you said:
"HI @EleonoraGruppoItalia, thanks for posting here!
While this isn't directly possible to happen when using Dropbox, what you can do as a workaround is this: You can create shared links for the content you need to share."
Question: the Dropbox App can create "view-only shared links," which is a plain text static website. Translating plain text to a QR code is simple. The only reason Dropbox does not add this is laziness in my opinion!
Adding features that skips steps and makes life easier should be a no-brainer, but I guess Dropbox is not as smart as I thought it was.
Please add this feature! If not, then sadly I will have to reconsider my subscription.

Hi Everybody!
I wanted to let you know that our team is building a feature that will let you create a QR code to share files or folders from Dropbox. It will behave in the same way as shared links do.
We plan to ramp it up to paying customers starting next week. Hopefully this makes your workflow easier as you won't have to navigate to another tool to create QR codes that link back to Dropbox. We'd love your feedback on this feature when you start to use it! 😊
Best,
Amanda
