Sharing securely

[Dimitri Lostromos]

Hi, I have a site with images and want to give viewer and download access to certain individuals. I don't however, what them to be able to share the link to anyone, can someone help?

Hi @Dimitri Lostromos, happy Monday! 

First of all, it seems like you wish to embed a link to your site, right? 

I wouldn't suggest that, since everyone and anyone could have access to it.

As an alternative, you can share the folder directly with the people you want.
 
However, they would need to have a Dropbox account and enough space to add the folder.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Megan thanks for replying and hope you have a great Monday too. I don't want to add a link on the site, I send them a link and I expect they do have Dropbox Accounts. What I am asking is if one of them share that link with others, can the have access, and if so, how can they be barred.

Hi @Dimitri Lostromos, thanks for the speedy reply! 

If someone forwards the link, yes, the other person would have access. 

At the moment, we don't have a feature that would prevent this.

A paid professional or business plan could add passwords to the shared links, but even with the passwords, someone could forward the link.

Thanks for your answer Megan, I have a paid account but not business, I will have to think of some other online, secure method to give them access. Sharing Dropbox links is clearly not secure for such an action.

 I just uploaded images and videos from Facebook to Dropbox, can't seem to find the folders on Dropbox. Help.
