Dropbox gives you the ability to easily share files across systems and networks. So, if you want to give people view-only access to your Dropbox files from an iOS device, there are two ways to do it. One, share the file itself or share a link to your Dropbox file. Whatever way you choose, we have explained the step by step process for both the methods.
Share a DropBox file:
- Find the file you'd like to share in the file list view.
- Tap the downward arrow beside the file name to reveal a set of actions.
- Tap 'Share'.
- Enter the name or email address of the people who need access to your files.
- Under the 'These People' option, choose 'Can view'.
- Add a message about the files and tap 'Send'.
Share a link to your Dropbox File:
- Find the file you'd like to share in the file list view.
- Tap the downward arrow beside the file name to reveal a set of actions.
- Tap 'Share'.
- Under 'Who Has Access' tap Create a link.
- If a link was already shared to this file or folder, tap Share next to Anyone with the link can view. - Select the way you'd like to share the link, such as email, text message, or social media post.
- Fill out information as needed to send or post the link.
