In case a user creates a doc within a folder then all the members of that folder can open, search for, and edit the doc. While sharing the doc with others, the user can choose who can open the doc and who can comment or edit. This works while working with a team where people know each other.Īs per Dropbox’s permissions page, a user can create a private document that’s not inside of a folder and they should be the only person editing it.
Users may be logged into Dropbox by default so they might see a warning and, if they proceed, they would end up sharing their name and email address. However, when a user clicks the link without being logged into Dropbox, the user will be shown to other users as a guest, and won’t be able to comment or edit on the document. Though Dropbox differentiates between active and inactive viewers, this information will remain with Dropbox even after the user has left the page, Anyone who has logged into the document will be able to see the names and email addresses of others. On arrival, if they are logged into Dropbox, a warning displays, though in faint type, that says -when you open a doc, your name, email, avatar photo and viewer and visit information is always visible to other people in it.” Also, admins and users receive additional control over who can view a Paper doc.Īccording to The Register, “if someone gets to know the link, because in your enthusiasm you posted it on social media, or sent to your contact and they posted it, they may click the link and visit the page.
