Dropbox Sharing files and Folders

Now, sharing with Dropbox. Inside Dropbox, you are familiar already that you can have different sharing methods that are displayed here. But you gotta think of, what kind of use case you have and then what is the purpose of sharing that you might have right now? In order to decide which functionality, which feature, which product you are gonna actually use. So, in each of these sharing method feature products you might have, you can also set up some sharing settings, some permission, some access controls, password set up or enable, disable downloads option if you want as well.

The casing is understanding the use case So you can suggest to the customer where, when you're sending, what kind of sharing method is gonna be most useful to them.

So first thing, you gotta think about the sharing purpose. For example, if your purpose is to collaborate with someone, edit the same folder just with someone else, meaning that the other party you are sharing the content to needs also upload a file from their end. And then do some editing in your content. Both parties, who are sending the request, and also the receiver who is also DocSend needs an account, needs a license from Dropbox. And then you can share the folder internally or externally, by using team folders or share folder as you guys might be familiar already.

If the purpose is just to receive the content, receive the file array, the other party actually doesn't need a Dropbox account. You can simply use the DocSend file request feature, where the other party just needs to upload the content to the folder, to the link you are sharing with them. And then they can upload the content by a maximum of fifteen gigabytes per request. And then once they upload it, you are gonna receive your content as the requester, you're gonna receive the content in the folder specified by you.

But if your purpose is simply to send the content to someone else, and you don't need the other party to upload anything, you just want to send it, you have potentially three functionality features or products that you can use. First thing you can use is share shareable links from Dropbox. So inside your Dropbox account, you have multiple folders there. And inside a folder, you might want to share its content through a link. And then you can just create this shareable link and then give them just viewing permission. And by doing so, the other party who is receiving the link will be able to view the content and also download the content if you enable that option. So you can just basically attach one link to upload your file to be shared with permission restrictions if you want. And that's inside the DocSend account.

But if you want to transfer multiple files at once, meaning that if you have a really big file or maybe a really big video, that you want to transfer to someone else, a copy of that file that you want to send over to someone else, you can simply use a DocSend transfer for that purpose. This is basically available to all plans. And then you can just, you know, upload different file size limits and it's up to a hundred gigabytes depending on the plan you have. And of course, you can also set a password if you want with the DocSend transfer.

And then if you would like to send multiple files at once? We're seeing a data room that we call a customized space where you can create a customized website, for example, and organize different folders, and then upload your content to send, for example, to your prospects. You can create a shareable link through DocSend and then just send your customized spaces that we call, like, from the data room. To your prospects as well by using DocSend. By using DocSend, you'll be able to have all this engagement tracking. You'll be able to see the details later on, if they have viewed the contents or not, like, from using DocSend as well. And then you can also have other settings, like sharing settings that you can enable, like, access control, maybe enable some NDA before they access the content or put some watermark if you want.

DocSend can be a stand-alone product or it can be bundled with Dropbox as well. And then in terms of storage on how much you can store inside DocSend, it's gonna be fifty gigabytes per user. Unless it's personal, it's gonna be ten gigabytes per user. And then any of these three options that I have shown to you guys, the other party doesn't need a license for that. Just the requestor or the people who are sending the content need a license for that purpose.
