If you need to ensure the security of a file or folder (and even that isn't 100% secure since anyone could just copy the content to a new folder and re-share it), then you should use a shared folder and invite the specific individuals that require access to the have the business account. Share links can easily be passed on to another person (or posted online) along with the password, and you would never know it. Note that the password on share links is really a false sense of security, in my opinion. A Dropbox account is not required for the recipient, so they wouldn't be required to log in before they could view the content. Basic and Plus accounts (Plus, formerly known as Pro) do not have this feature unless they were grandfathered in when Professional accounts were made available (about 7 months ago). Only the people you specifically share it with can access it.Ī share link can be password protected, if you have a Professional or Business account. Since a shared folder is shared to a specific individual and a Dropbox account is required, there's no need to further protect it with an individual password. A shared folder cannot be password protected and there's no way (using Dropbox) to password protect the content of a shared folder. This sounds like you shared a folder with your colleague. They clicked the link in the email they received ("go to folder") and it took them to log in. Basic, Plus and Professional accounts are considered personal accounts. Do you have a Dropbox Business account, or a Basic/Plus/Professional account that you're using for business purposes? You can see the exact plan that you have on the Plan page.
