The basics of Dropbox are very simple and easy to figure out, but you may not know about some of the more advanced features Dropbox offers when it comes to file sharing. If you want to give people view-only access to your Dropbox files on a Mac Machine, follow the process below:
Share a Dropbox file:
- If you haven't already, install the Dropbox desktop app on your computer.
- Press control on your keyboard and click the file at the same time (or right-click the file).
- Select Share…
- Choose Can view.
- Enter the name or email address of the people who need access to your files.
- Click Invite.
Share a link to your Dropbox file:
- If you haven't already, install the 'Dropbox desktop app' on your computer.
- Press control on your keyboard and click the file at the same time (or right-click the file).
- Select 'Copy Dropbox Link'.
- The link will be copied to your clipboard. You can then paste it into an email, message, or wherever people can access it.
