Hi Cathy,
I haven't tried this from an iPhone, but if you created a folder for your friend on your PC, just right click on it and select the option "Share this Folder." Your web browser will open and you will have 2 edit fields, the first is where you would put your friends email address, the second is for a message which is optional. This is also a checkbox which I believe is checked by default, it says "Allow members to invite others". If you leave it checked, then somebody you share the folder with can invite others to share the folder as well, but I think whoever created the folder and who is referred to as the "Owner" still has to approve these invitations. Anyhow, once you entered your friends email address (make sure it's the one he or she uses for their Dropbox account) you click the "Share Folder" button. Your friend will get an email with a link called "View on Dropbox". Once he or she clicks on that, a web page will open where they have to accept the invitation. Once done the folder will automatically be added to their Dropbox folder as a subfolder and anything you put in it will sync to their computer and vice versa. When you first right click on the folder you want to share there is also a menu option called "Share Dropbox Link". Don't use this option, as it will only put a link to the folder into your clipboard. You could paste that link into an email and mail it to somebody, but I think while thiat person can then see the contents of the folder, it does not become a truly shared folder. Good luck, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cathy Sent: Monday, April 21, 2014 6:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: I am wanting to know how to use drop box on the i-phone Hi: I decided to get drop box so I downloaded it on my computer. Then I got the app for it and put it on my i-phone 5. I set up the accounts both on the computer and i-phone. I created a folder and choose to share my folder. I was told that you can set up folders for my friends and they can do the same. When I shared the link, we can not figure out how to have the folder to show up in the other person's drop box and of course my folder that she created for me is not showing in my drop box. I tried to do this on the computer and the phone. Please some one please help. If this is not something we should talk about on the list because it is also a computer issue as well as an i-phone thing, please some one e-mail me privately and I we can try and figure out all of my questions. I thank you all in advance. Cathy & Pilot Dog, Tiny: -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
