    Hey Putao010, thanks for posting your question to our Community and happy Friday!

     

    You can create a folder in your Dropbox, just like you would with any other folder, and then you can create/copy a link to the folder, by following the steps in this article.

     

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions!

        Hi LorraineP, how are you today?

         

        Yes, they should be able to download the content either locally, or add it in their Dropbox account. 

         

        If you have any questions, let me know!
