OT - Need Help with Dropbox

Hi all,

I bought a 2TB account with Dropbox and uploaded 20 zip files 8GB total.
I sent links to friends But they can't download.They say they get a file not
available message. Digging into it seems they are classified as an archive.
A link looks like "https://www.dropbox.com/preview/2019.zip?role=personal"

I just wanted to upload 20 zip files and send links to 40 people so they could
download. Does anyone have any idea how I can straighten this out?
Thanks

You need to create a shared link to send to third party folk.

Stuff you have uploaded is by default private.

Thanks Martin!

It's starting to make sense. My mistake was thinking of DB
as a FTP site.
What I really wanted to do was post the links to my
Facebook group.
Thanks again!

I can't see the last two.
the second one says, .zip files can't be viewed from an archived file.
The third one, Hmm, the second time I tried, it opened, but initially it
said .stp file can't be opened something, something something.

They can't be viewed, but maybe can be downloaded.

..stp is a 3D model, but actually text.
