Sharing your Dropbox files with others is easy. There are two ways to share or give people view-only access. One, via a share link to the Dropbox file and the other by sending the Dropbox file itself. If you want to give people view-only access to your Dropbox files from an Android device, follow the process below:
Share a Dropbox file:
- Navigate to the file or folder you want to share, then tap the downward arrow to the right of the file or folder name.
- Tap Share.
- Enter the name or email address of the people who need access to your files.
- Under These people, choose 'Can view'.
- Add a message about the files and tap Send.
Share a link to your DropBox File:
- Navigate to the file or folder you want to share, then tap the downward arrow to the right of the file or folder name.
- Tap Share.
- 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'. - You’ll see a menu of apps, such as email and text, that you can choose from to send your file. Select the app you'd like to use and Dropbox will paste the link into the app.
