Hi! I'm trying to download some photos and when I click on their link it tells me to request access. It says that 'email' was given access but I'm signed in as 'email'. But they're both the exact same email?

Hey @Spittee, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community!

 

Is it possible that the owner of the folder has made a typo in the email address they shared the folder with?

 

It could be a letter or even a dot or a space.

 

Can you check with them, to make sure they shared the folder with the correct address?

 

Thanks.

Hey Hannah! Thanks for the reply. It looks identical to me but I emailed them and they sent me a direct link which has worked instead!
