Microsoft Office files and Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides allow edit access by default, but you can change the access to view-only when you create the link.When the recipient clicks on the link, the file opens as a preview on, and recipients can comment on it. If you share the link through email, WhatsApp, Twitter, instant message, or another third-party app, the recipient sees the name of the file and a thumbnail of the content. When you share a file or folder via link, you can choose to give people with that link edit or view-only access.

You can create a link to a file or folder in your Dropbox account to share it with others.
