Do I need to create a new transfer link for each subfolder I add to the parent folder?

I transferred a folder to my bookkeeper. After I transferred it, I moved an additional folder into that transferred folder. She can see everything except the folder I added after I gave her the transfer link. Do I need to create another transfer link so she can see additional folders and files added after a transfer?

    Each transfer is unique. Once created, you can't change the content. You need to create a new transfer. Alternatively, if you use a shared link to a folder instead, then your bookkeeper would only need to re-visit the link each time you add new content to that folder.
