Hi darell_aiuken, if someone somehow has the exact shared link you copied, then yes, they'd be able to access the files and folders in that link.
If you're on a Dropbox Business team, then the team admin might be able to see that you created a shared link via the activity log, and if it was accessed by another device, location, or user.

Dropbox StaffHey darell_aiuken, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community.
This is actually how our shared link feature works.
When you use the "copy link" option, a link is created that helps you share your files even with people who don't have a Dropbox account (that's why you could access them from a computer that's not logged in to your account).
Can you let me know what you're trying to accomplish? Do you want to share your files with other people, or just transfer them to the other computer?
Let me know!
Thanks for replying, what I am trying to achieve is that no one outside my organisation or those I share with can see the files.

In that case, you may want to consider password-protecting or even setting an expiration date on your shared links darell_aiuken
Let us know if you have any other questions!
Thank you for your response, then for understanding. All the files I upload to dropbox can be seen by anyone as long as they know the exact url? Sorry for so many questions.
