Creating a Shared Folder

Setting up a shared folder in Dropbox is easy. Add the files you want to share to a folder
in Dropbox on your computer, then right-click in the folder, select Dropbox, and then
choose Share This Folder.

Alternately, log into your Dropbox account online, click the drop-down menu beside the folder you
want to share, and click Share this folder.

Now, enter the email addresses of the people you want to share the folder with, and optionally enter a
message explaining why you’re sharing the folder.
The people you invite will receive an email inviting them to view and join the shared folder. If they
haven’t signed up for Dropbox, they can directly signup; otherwise, they can simply log into their
Dropbox account and start adding or editing files.

Shared folders have a slightly different icon in your Dropbox. Notice the shared folder on the left has
an icon with 2 people, while the folder on the right that is not shared, shows previews of its contents.
See Your Shared Folder’s History

Whenever your collaborators with your shared folders add or change files, you will see a
tooltip notification telling you what changed.

You can also view the changes online. Log into your Dropbox account in your browser and select the
Events tab. This shows all changes to your Dropbox, but you can view only the changes in your
shared folder by selecting its name on the left sidebar.
If someone deleted a file you still need, you can restore it by clicking its link in this online history. Or,
you can view any deleted files by right-clicking in your Dropbox folder in Explorer. Select Dropbox,
and then click Show Deleted Files.
