I am evaluating Miro. I have created a board that I would like to share with someone to view only. If I share this single board with them, will they have access to my other two boards?
Thanks

To clarify who can see my boards...

Hi
First, to see what plan your team is a part of:
- From your Miro dashboard, click on the settings gear icon beside the team name:
-
On the Team profile page you will see your plan type:
Now back to your screenshots…
You had it right by setting Anyone with the link → Can view. Then you copy the board link and send it to them. This is just a link to the board - they cannot see anything else related to your account/other boards/etc.
To test this, I just created a board and set the board’s Share settings to:
Here is the link - give it a try:
+13No they will only be able to view the board you have shared with them.

https://community.miro.com/got-a-question-ask-the-community-45/private-vs-shared-board-1897
I sent someone this:
I then changed that to No Access because I only wanted them to see the board I shared. I thought I read they might be able to see my other boards.
That person then requested access:
Now I do not know if she would be able to see my other boards if I grant access. Those boards are unrelated.
I do not want her as a team member. Just a viewer. She is not a user of Miro.

Once you are on my board, if you click on miro at the top-left corner, you will be taken back to your Miro dashboard where you will see any teams that you are a member of. In your case, it sounds like you are likely just a member of one team, i.e., the team you created when you first created your Miro account profile.
For example, my Miro account profile was created using my Gmail address. Other Miro account holders have added me as a member of their team, so when I sign into Miro using my Gmail address, I see six teams that I am a member of:
These teams are a mix of Free Plan, Education Plan, and Consultant Plan.
When I click on one of them, I am taken to that teams dashboard and can see any boards that I have created or have been allowed to view/edit by the person who created the board (aka, the board Owner).
Rest assured, when you share a link to a board, the person you shared it with will not be able to see any of your other boards.
Based on that, I will grant her access to the board. The only thing that seemed different from what you have was your first example 1.
Mine does not say “free” by the name. Mine says:
However, when I click on my name, inside I have this:
