Dropbox StaffHey euanburton, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
It is not possible to share backed up files any more, to ensure the security of your files, as a lot of people have very personal files saved to their desktop folders.
I do understand your frustration with this, though, and I will definitely pass your comments along to our team.
Your feedback is very valuable and rest assured that it will be delivered.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
PLEASE bring this back. This feature was what made Dropbox work for my workflow. Sending clients a zip file to download isn't acceptable, nor is duplicating all the files I want to share. This is very frustrating. We don['t need to be coddled. Your users are capable of deciding which files to share without sharing access to our entire hard drive.
