Sharing Dropbox Files from Facebook

When you want to share Dropbox files in a Facebook group, it’s a simple process. Sharing is what social networking is all about. We can share a variety of documents, photos, and more. Dropbox is yet another method we use to connect our friends and family with particular content. When you want to share a file with your friends in a group on Facebook, follow these instructions.

1. Click on the name of the group that you want to share a file in. You can find your group on the left sidebar of the main Facebook page. Scroll down until you see the heading ‘groups’ and click on the desired group.
