Folders in Dropbox are shareable but you must create a shared folder first then invite other users to share the folder. Keep in mind a few rules about sharing:
1. Anyone you invite to share a folder can add, edit and delete files
2. If two people edit a file in the shared folder at the same time, Dropbox will save both versions as separate files
3. You cannot share a folder inside of another folder, it must be a unique folder.
Let's get started:
Step 1. Go to the Dropbox website at https://www.dropbox.com/login?lhs_ and log into your account
Step 2. Select the sharing icon in the menu list in the left margin of the window
Step 3. Select the 'New shared folder' icon at the top right of the page.
Step 4. In the pop-up window select from either creating a new shared folder or sharing an existing one. If you create a new folder you will be prompted to name the folder, if you choose to share a pre-existing folder you will be prompted to select one from a list. Click next after making a choice.
Step 5. Add email addresses of one or more users that you would like to share this folder with, you can type them in and hit enter or return after each entry or you have the option to import contacts from gmail or facebook. Also make note of the check box at the top of this window that allows invited users to also invite others to share your folder, uncheck this box if you do not want this option.
Step 6. Click the blue box that is marked 'Share folder'. An email will be sent to this user notifying them that they are being invited to share your folder(s). They will click on the link to view the folder and will be promted to login, if they do not already have a dropbox account they can create one for free. Once logged in, they will have the folder and it's contents available in their account for use.
