Where do you find the "Viewed Links" folder from the Mobile App when using the desktop website?
On my phone, I can see an area called "Viewed Links" and it shows me the folder that my friend shared with me via a QR Code. I can access everything inside her shared folder when on my mobile app. I ...

Dropbox StaffHey snol26, thanks for posting your question today.
The "viewed links" section of the Home tab on the mobile app does not actually exist on the website.
The QR codes that you create for your files, are meant to be accessed by mobile devices.
If you want other users to access your files, I would suggest creating and sharing an actual link to a file/folder, which can be pasted anywhere.
You can find the steps to do so here.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any more questions.
We want to hand out cards with the QR Code to the Media folks who visit our trade show booths for our January/February trade shows. We don't necessarily always have their contact information to email them links or ability to get their contact info to follow up later.
If we hand out a card that has the actual link written out for someone to type in on their desktop, I'm not sure anyone would bother, making the handout pointless.
Is there any other option for us to share this link on a physical handout?

Hi snol26, unfortunately there's no way to share a shared link as a physical handout other than what you already mentioned previously.
However, I'm going to keep this thread open, in order for other users, or Superusers to share any additional workarounds with you.
I hope this helps!
Thank you very much for your help. Truth be told, we are going to look into other services to see if we can find what we are looking for. I mostly share that for Dropbox's information to evaluate if they want to implement a way to do this so others can use QR Codes.
