Share any file or folder easily, with anyone
File sharing with Dropbox is quick and simple. By just sharing a link, you can send anything—from photos and videos to zipped folders and large CAD files—to anyone, even if they don’t have a Dropbox account.
Easily share links and files from anywhere, using your phone, tablet or computer. And unlike email attachments, you don’t have to worry about file size limits—share files as large as your cloud storage space quota, starting at 2 GB and up.

Get real-time updates on changes to shared files
No more manual checking—find out exactly when someone has made changes to a file you’ve shared.
With cloud file-sharing services from Dropbox, you’ll immediately see who’s added, edited, deleted, renamed, or moved an online file. Any changes made to a shared file will beautomatically updated and synced for all recipients.
Shared file synchronization and activity notifications come as standard, with any Dropbox plan.

Organize shared folders
Dropboxcloud storage is a great place tohelp teams get organized and add files to one central location. It’s easy for team members to see where everything is, and which files are the most recent—and in need of immediate attention.
- Shared folders: Working on a file-heavy project with several team members?Shared folders give everyone rich workspaces where they can get coordinated by uploading content, sharing files, adding folder descriptions, and assigning to-dos. And any edits you make within the folder will be immediately synced to other members, for quick and easy collaboration in real-time.
- Groups: With Dropbox, you can easily upload files and share materials with relevant parties by creating a group, adding a list of members, and inviting the group to shared folders.

Control what you share
- Manage folder permissions: Ensure secure folder sharing with multiple folder permissions. Choose if you want to give recipients editing or view-only access to your folder and manage your sharing options.
- Sharing options and controls: Sending a file as an email attachment can put your data’s security at risk. With Dropbox, you can easily share a link to a file or folder that is limited to view-only access. Plus, you can addpassword protection to a shared link, set a link expiration date and disable downloads.
- Granular folder permissions:Share a specific subfolder without giving access to the entire folder it lives within. Give your vendors access to just one “Final Images” subfolder, for example, located inside your larger “Graphic Design” folder.

"Dropbox is how we share photos, written content, portfolio features, media features, product photos, newsletter mockups, and the content calendar. It's great to have everything organized in one place for them."
