Can I share my main user folder to other users?

How can I share my main folder with other users instead of sharing each folder one by one to users?
 
example: MYBusiness/Mike/Folder1
 
How do I give people access to everything in my folder (Mike) so they'd have access to Folder1/2/3/4 and so on.

    If you mean the root of your Dropbox directory that's not possible. It would be possible, however to create and share a folder inside the root and then give everybody access to that though.

      I see. If I have multiple folders in root, then can I share all those folders to users? So like a select all and share them out? 

       

      I'm only seeing that I can only share each folder one-by-one rather than selecting like 30 folders at once and sharing them with a user.

        You would have to share them separately. The other option is to create a new folder in your Dropbox, move all of the other folders into it, and then share that folder.
