[Trainer-talk] question about email and drop box

Fri Aug 10 01:07:56 UTC 2012

Files on DropBox have to be set to be shared by the owner. If you are 
sent links to files that haven't been set to share then you would have 
to be able to sign on to your friends account to access those files. 
Have your friend review how to share files on DropBox and give it 
another try. You are being blocked from those files because you don't 
have permission to access them.
