shared links vs folders and use of storage space
I am confused about the difference between shared links and shared folders.
here it says that if I create a shared folder it uses my storage space but if I create a link it doesn't
https:...
I was exactly meaning THEIR quota.
I sent them the link, but all they can do is "join" the folder, which means it then ends up being included in their quota.
I cannot see a difference between sending a shared link and setting up a shared folder.
thank you!

Super User IIHave you given them edit access? For that it has to be a shared folder
Well the create link seems to be able to be either edit or view, but I only need view in fact.

On my machine here I simply right click the directory and choose 'copy dropbox link'.
If you just click on 'Share Link' on the website it seems to now auto add on editing rights.
Try clicking on the three ...'s next to the folder/file name, then Share with Dropbox and use that to create a view only one if its via website
but then see what happens when it is received... the recipient has to "join" the folder meaning it then becomes part of the recipients quota.
