Is there a central location to view all files that I've shared? 

 

I have 2 TB of data nested in 100+ folders and subfolders.  Over the years, I've shared lots of files in the various subfolders and occasionally stumble upon them.  I would like to do a holistic review of all files and folders that I've shared.  I clicked on the "Shared" tab but it does NOT list the files that I have shared with others.

 

Thanks!

They should all appear at www.dropbox.com/share 🙂

 

Unless some are links with which try www.dropbox.com/links

Hi @DBox121, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

You can visit the Shared page to see a list of shared folders, files and links.

 

Which files are missing in particular? This will help me to assist further!

Thanks, @Jay.  I am looking at the "Files" tab on the Shared Page that you linked and it does not list a single file.  However, I'm aware of numerous files that I shared with others. 

 

If I share a file right now, will it show up in the Shared/File tab immediately or does it take a while to sync?

Unfortunately, none of my shared files are shown there.

Thanks for the info, could you contact the support team directly for them to investigate this in more detail?

UPDATE:  I chat with Support and learned that there is no way to see what files I shared FROM me to others.  The Files/Shared tab only shows what files were shared TO me from others.  That's a pretty insane design flaw if this product wants to compete in the collaboration space.  Shame on me for not confirming the absence of this feature before sharing files but it's mindboggling that such a simple feature could be missing.
