Get started Sharing a folder: Click the 'Share' button → 'Send link.' Sharing a file: Click the 'Share' button and the link will automatically be copied to your clipboard. People who click a share link will be able to preview the file or the contents of a folder on the Dropbox website, they can also download a copy, but they won't be able to edit files. If you're a contractor and you want to share your schedule with a client, you can just create a link to the file - send that link to anyone, even if they don't have a Dropbox account. Passing your cursor to the call will simply block until a change is detected (or its timeout occurs). These client-side applications should instead leverage /files/listfolder/longpoll for these cases. Get started Click the 'Share' button → 'Invite people to collaborate.' Sending a link For interactive applications that need real-time notification of a change in Dropbox, rapid polling is inefficient. When they accept the invite, your travel buddies can sync that folder to their Dropbox account they'll also be able to view, add, edit, or delete files in the folder. Instead of emailing attachments back and forth in a messy thread, you can just create a shared folder and invite your friends to collaborate. Let's say you're going on a trip with some friends and want to keep multiple travel guides in one place, and let everyone edit the group's itineraries. We've added this button to make it even easier for you to share your stuff from Dropbox. Next time you log in to Dropbox on the web, you'll notice a new 'Share' button.
