Hi Megan thanks for replying and hope you have a great Monday too. I don't want to add a link on the site, I send them a link and I expect they do have Dropbox Accounts. What I am asking is if one of them share that link with others, can the have access, and if so, how can they be barred.

Dropbox StaffHi Dimitri Lostromos, thanks for the speedy reply!
If someone forwards the link, yes, the other person would have access.
At the moment, we don't have a feature that would prevent this.
A paid professional or business plan could add passwords to the shared links, but even with the passwords, someone could forward the link.

Thanks for your answer Megan, I have a paid account but not business, I will have to think of some other online, secure method to give them access. Sharing Dropbox links is clearly not secure for such an action.

I just uploaded images and videos from Facebook to Dropbox, can't seem to find the folders on Dropbox. Help.
