We’ll cover how to set permission levels for the documents you share so that others can view or even edit them, how to generate direct links to your files, and how to invite others to view a folder.
You’ll also learn how to use Dropbox alerts so you never miss when someone shares something with you, as well as the Dropbox File Request feature, which lets you quickly receive files from almost anyone—even if they don’t have a Dropbox account. Finally, you’ll discover how Dropbox streamlines collaboration so that you and the people you work with can get things done more efficiently by commenting throughout a document, tagging others for help, and soliciting feedback with the click of a button.
