It is not immediately visible within your relative's dropbox folder. Anything within your folder needs to sync up with dropbox first, and then shows up as a shared folder within their account as as well AFTER syncing up to their computer.
If you have lots of stuff in the folder than it will take quite some time for this to happen; especially if you and/or they are using a wi-fi connection to for connecting to dropbox. As an example, I have a sermon file that upload to a shared dropbox folder at church, which is 1.45gb roughly. When I ge t home, it takes my laptop about 30 minutes over wi-fi to sync it to my dropbox folder. You may see a little blue whirling icon when this is being done, or you may not see it at all until it is done. Depends on the installation. Best thing I can suggest is to create an empty folder and add a very small text file to test the installation. If that pops into their folder, your setup is fine and you should just have them give it plenty of time to sync up. However, if that douesn't pop into their folder almost immediately, you've got other issues and I'd recommend contacting Dropbox support for further help. https://www.dropbox.com/support Good luck!
