Thank you but the link doesn't appear there. Yet, if someone clicks on the link they can access files I no longer want them to be able to access. If it makes any difference, I put the files in that folder on dropbox.com & passed the link to others, then installed the app on my computer and rearranged folders and files. However, that original link still works and allows people to access files I no longer want them to do so.

All links from your account show on that page. Rearranging files doesn't change anything - they still work.
If it isn't showing on links have you checked the other options (Files and Recents etc.)?
Yes, that link does not appear under any options yet it works when someone clicks on it. Here's the link

Thats because its not been shared as a link 🙂
You've created a shared folder that gives everybody read/write access to the whole thing. So when they add to their Dropbox if they delete/change anything it also changes on yours. You need to go to that folder and unshare it. You may be able to do it at https://www.dropbox.com/share/folders
