Hello. I need to see what are the largest files on my dropbox. is there any tool any way to do this ? (in dropbox website without downloading ALL my dropbox files) thanks by advance
I have a shared folder with 7 members. 6 of them can see all the files, 1 of them can't see files that have been added the last 4 months (but can see all previous ones). She's logged out and back in, checked both her Mac Finder and the dropbox website. Searching the file also doesn't return a result. How do we get the…
My Dropbox app (android) and Microsoft word app have been linked and working together fine. I had a file sync issue and simply disconnected Word from my Dropbox account in hope it'd solve it. Now when I try to link the two apps again, I get this error: It seems the app you're using submitted a bad request. If you'd like to…
I have an old account associated with an ntlworld.com email address that no longer exists. I have the password and I have (amazingly) found the emergency codes. However there is nowhere to add the emergency code - I just get straight to the survey, which I can't get past as the account is so old. Surely if I have the user…
Hi, I accidentally deleted an entire folder from my Dropbox Basic account in January 2026. The folder was stored only in Dropbox, and I don't have a local copy or backup. I checked Deleted files and the Restorations page, but I still can't recover the folder I need. Is there any way to recover it, or can someone advise me…
Uploading images or other files from Android phone to Dropbox via 'share to Dropbox Android app', the behavior used to be that the folder I navigated to and used for uploads would be persistent across sessions & days, unless I changed location on a subsequent upload. Now the upload target directory resets to the top level…
I had a folder titled Knitting that had 27 folders inside of it with several hundred patterns in it. I don’t know where it went to and I cannot find it. On my iPad I see the Knitting folder and the 27 folders inside of it and they have the “download” arrows on them. However, when I try to download I just get a circle that…
Hello, I am trying to reconcile the storage usage on a Dropbox Basic account with a 2 GB limit. Dropbox currently shows approximately: Shared files: 2 GB Standard files: 1.6 MB Backup: 0 Replay: 0 Unused space: approximately 15.7 MB However, I have manually checked the actual sizes of all joined shared folders visible in…
For months I have been receiving an email saying that I am over my storage capacity. And, for months, I check and I see NOTHING that puts me over my storage limit. In faci. I am only using 53.74MB out of my 2GB! Today, again, I receive an email saying that I am above capacity and that my files will be deleted. I have NO…
I installed (and uninstalled, reinstalled—multiple times) and it keeps asking me to do two things: Sign out of my own device, which is somehow listed multiple times (I have basic plan) When installed, it says it can't connect to dropbox, and the error leads me to security settings (which I've checked over and over) and…
I really like that Camera Uploads renames photos with the date and time they were taken. I use the uploaded files as my originals, and the date-based names make them easy to sort and find. I would not want to lose that. The problem comes when I share photos from the phone with an AI assistant (an LLM), which I do often,…
Dear Dropbox, in shared-link folder views, please show total folder size and file count before adding or downloading, so recipients can verify a delivery is complete. Thanks a bunch!
Dear Dropbox, in Dropbox file preview on dropbox.com, please include visible timestamps when using “Copy transcript” or copying transcript text, not just the spoken text. Thanks a bunch!
The Problem:When uploading multiple files via the web browser interface, users currently have no way to set a custom order or prioritize which file gets uploaded first in the queue. Real-Life Context & Use Case:As a filmmaker and long-time Dropbox user of 15 years, sending heavy footage directly through the browser is a…
Hey, I would love for it to be a shortened shared link!! It would be awesome to have a personalized link but if it's too much to ask, at least make it shorter! It looks AWEFUL when sharing documents to clients OR to my boss!! It's sooo bulky, makes everything look very unprofessional. I've seen a lot of posts about this,…
