Why do my shared links give an option to edit?

Why when I click on "Copy a link" to a folder does it always show that the link allows editing when I have deleted the link in Settings and only have a viewing allowed link showing in Settings?

I see where you're coming from DCM-MvTN!

What happens if you try to simply hover over the folder you’d like to share and click the share icon (rectangle with an up arrow).

Then from the dropdown, select Can view.

If a link hasn't been created, click Create. If a link has been created, then click Copy link.

The link will then be copied to your clipboard. Can you give this one a go?

Hi DCM-MvTN, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Could you clarify where exactly you're seeing this option to edit?

A screenshot showing this, and you current link settings, would be great.

This will help me to assist further!
