# Accessing another dropbox directory

 * Hi,
 * I have a large directory in Dropbox I share with people. I would like to share
   that directory without moving it into “Dropbox Folder/Apps/Blighty Explorer”.
   Duplicating this directory to place in the app folder would be costly. Is there
   a way to share a folder outside of the apps directory?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi – Thanks for your question. When I was originally designing this plugin, that
   thought had crossed my mind, but for various reasons, I decided to opt for just
   sharing from within the Apps folder.
 * There is a workaround though. If you’re able to, you could create your own Dropbox
   app ([https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps))
   to allow full access to your Dropbox account, and replace the app_key, secret
   and full_access parameters in blighty-explorer.php (of this plugin) with that
   of your Dropbox app (you wouldn’t have to publish your Dropbox app, since only
   you’d be using it). That should work, but you’ll have to keep updating those 
   parameters with any further updates to the plugin Drop me a message on my site:
   [http://blighty.net](http://blighty.net) if you need further help walking through
   this.
 * I’ll also possibly add it as a future enhancement, but I’m working on other features
   right now, so I can’t give a timeline for when that would be done.
 * Hope this helps though!
 * Chris
