My public folder is no longer being shared to everyone, why?
I have been using DropBox for over 10 years ... but recently things have changed, in W11 seems very different.
For example, I have a public folder .. and I set this to be available to all to view ....

Most likely, you're looking to create a shared link to a folder. Could you try the exact steps listed in this article to see if this helps?

If I create a 'shared link' to a folder and create it as a 'link for viewing' does it automatically confer same 'view' privileges to all items contained within that folder .. including contents of sub-folders ?

Hey sargan, let me jump in here, too. What you mention is correct; anyone who has access to your shared link will be able to view the contents of the parent folder and any subfolder or file it contains.
