Why can't people see these uploaded files?
Why am i the only one who can see these files i've uploaded?

Hi ConniePauly, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I've removed the image since it contained a lot of personal information.
From the looks of it, these files are not in a shared folder, which is why no one else can see it. Did you try to share any folder?
This will help me to assist further!

I just tried sharing...I was only able to share with the file creator...is that normal?
My boss can see all the PMs on this project

Were you invited to join a shared folder, or were you sent a shared link and you used the option to Save to Dropbox? If it's the latter, then what you received is a view-only method of sharing, and adding a copy to your own Dropbox doesn't allow anyone else to see the changes you make in the folder.
Make sure you've been invited to join a shared folder with edit access. When you join such a folder, the folder icon will have a person icon on it and the folder will appear on your Sharing page.
