No option to share folder with editing permissions
My colleague has a pro account and is trying to share a folder with me, but she only gets the option to share a viewable copy, not editable.
Hi Alison12345, keep in mind that there's no way to share a folder that already contains a shared folder.
That could be the culprit of your problem. If you'd like to give them read-write access to the parent folder instead, you can unshare the subfolder, and then share the parent folder.

Hi silvi3, thanks for posting today!
It seems like they're trying to share a link to a folder, which is only possible as a view-only link.
In order to share a folder to you, they need to follow these steps.
Keep me updated with any progress!
Hi Jay,
Those are the steps we have been trying. We're not even given an option to share - the only option is for read only. I have been searching for troubleshooting options for this and haven't found anything which is why I'm posting. Thanks, Silvi
