How to share a Dropbox files or folders

This article explains how to share files and folders with Dropbox. When you share a file or folder, the recipient receives an email with a link to the file or folder.

Note: The recipient must have a Dropbox account and sign in to that account to view or edit the file or folder that was shared with them. If you want to give view-only access to someone who doesn’t have a Dropbox account, or doesn’t want to sign in to view it, you can share with a link instead.

You can control whether people can edit, comment, or only view your files and folders, when you share them, and after you share them. Edits or comments that are made to a file or folder are updated live for everyone who they’ve been shared with.

Note: Users with individual Dropbox accounts need to explicitly add folders that you share with them to their Dropbox account. If you are a member of a Dropbox Business team, any personal folders that you share with other teammates will automatically be added to their Dropbox accounts.

Nexus Letter F.A.Q.

What needs to be in a nexus letter?

Things that need to be in a nexus letter:

1. Brief - it should be concisely focused on facts and conclusions.

2. Expert opinion - doctor with credentials. Our doctors have specialty board-certification and have prior military service.

3. Records review - connecting your condition to your military service requires review of relevant medical records and service records. The doctor will make a statement in the letter that they had access to, and were able to review these records.

4. Burden of proof - is more likely than not. The medical opinion does not have to be absolute. Remember the burden of proof is more likely than not that the condition was caused by (or aggravated by) military service.

5. Neutral party - the expert opinion of the doctor should remain honest and based on evidence. While not required, a recent examination of the veteran can add weight to the nexus letter.

I don't have any medical evidence that my condition occured in military service, can you still help me?

While it is important in cases for a veteran to submitted medical evidence in support of their claim, there can be other ways to link the condition to military service. This can be through eyewitness sworn statements, combat patrol reports and post-deployment health assessments among other ways.

My claim was denied, now what?

You can strengthen the evidence in your appeal of a denied claim by using a nexus letter. The use of a well qualified expert to assist you in an appeal of your claim can strengthen the connection between your military service and your medical condition. The burden of proof is not insurmountable and your expert is offered as a neutral party reviewer of your claim.

When is it too late to submit a nexus letter?
The Veteran can submit the nexus letter with their initial application for benefits, during the development of the claim are after the claim has been denied. Generally, it is best to submit a nexus letter earlier rather than later.
Why should I want a neutral party statement?
It is important that the VBA (Veteran's Benefit Administration) adjudicator find the medical evidence linking your medical condition to military service believable and this is best done by a neutral party.
