You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

I've set passwords for my shared links, but non team members don't get asked for one.
I have set passwords on folders I need to share with people who are not team members. (added a password to editing dan viewing links and saved it)
When I test this it by sending the link to an emai...
I figured it out. The folders were set to share with Team Members. I changed the Who has access to "Anyone with link".
I'm still perplexed about how the other user had access through the link and then got the error message. I changed that folder to "anyone with link" and it works.

Dropbox StaffHey Trish S.2, what kind of error did your husband get when he tried to access the folder?
When he Clicks on Add to Dropbox in email from me, it asks for Login ... not the Folder Secure Password which I put on the Folder!
So he cannot access Folder

Thats because you've given him edit access. The only way to have edit access on a folder is with a valid Dropbox account (so that it knows who is editing it). Turn that off and send him a LINK instead of a shared folder and it should work fine 🙂
Mark,
Excellent, I will try that
Solution is Certainly not intuitive nor documented well:)
thanks
