What exactly can people I share files with see

I am submitting a grant application that had a specific deadline. I gave them dropbox links to view my materials. I really want to add one more document to this shared file. But I’m afraid that the group I shared it with, might be able to see the date that my new document was uploaded into the shared file. so can people who have share the link, see the actual date when Dokumenta was uploaded?

    Okay, so this should be a shared link that they can access. Currently, the shared links would allow you to view the modification date of the file, meaning if it was newly uploaded or changed, they would see this date on the site. It isn't possible to change or hide this date.

      Hello!
      I only pressed “copy link”, and pasted it on their grant application. This was for a folder.
