Someone else tried that and it worked, but a short time later, Dropbox was prompting them to go through the update again. I…

@"7781" wrote: I am a little confused as to why it won't accept my log in and password though? I definitely didn't change it? When was the last time you accessed the account? If it's been more than a year the account could have been deleted due to inactivity. Another possibility is that the password has expired so the one…

@"Anandarup" wrote:I can't upload files more than 2gb of space. I have a basic account. but the owner of the folder is a subscriber of a paid plan. What am I doing wrong? You're not doing anything wrong. Since you have your own COPY of the shared folder in your account, you need to have enough space in your account for…

@"heyjude-2244" wrote:Safest one was sign out of dropbox if I have to have my computer repaired. Remember that signing out of Dropbox does NOT prevent access to the files you have stored in the local Dropbox folder on your hard drive. The Dropbox folder is just a regular folder like any other. It doesn't behave differently…

@"jcbrown" wrote:1Password Doesn’t Support Dropbox Anymore. Then there's nothing that can be done to resolve a Dropbox authentication issue within their application. AgileBits creates the connection between 1Password and Dropbox using the API. If something has changed in the API and AgileBits doesn't update their…

@"apherzig" wrote:Have patience Scott ❤️ Hopefully he's not still waiting, since Dropbox has had the feature for years now.

@"jcbrown" wrote:How Do I Resolve this Issue? See if there's an update for 1Password. If that doesn't resolve the issue, contact AgileBits (the creator of 1Password) for assistance. They use the Dropbox API but it's up to them to create the connection to Dropbox, as well as support it.

How many drives have you backed up so far? The number of external drive backups you can create on a Team account is equivalent to the…

@"danijor" wrote:I will continue using a couple of these files for personal use (my QuickBooks file, and my Outlook PST files.) Is it safe to keep these in Dropbox, so that they will be auto-backed up when they are closed, or am I risking corruption? First I'll say that using any kind of database file in Dropbox (or any…

@"LJV777" wrote:I receive emails from Dropbox to the wrong email address. Do you have another account using the other email address? Dropbox can only send emails to the email address associated with your account.

@"7781" wrote: My personal account, with an email address I no longer have access to won't accept my password? If you no longer have access to the email address you used for Dropbox, you won't be able to sign in to the account. In order to reset your password you need an active email address on your account. Without that,…

@"7781" wrote: What happens to a Dropbox if the associated email address is closed down? Immediately, nothing. As long as you know the password to the account, the password isn't expired, and you don't need to receive a verification code to the email address, you'll still be able to sign in. However, if you ever need to…

@"Solenoide477" wrote:Still the used quota reported in the account section shows 1.83GB used and dropbox always proposes to do an upgrade to Pro. Wait a few hours and check your usage again. Also check your Backups page.

@"beecom99" wrote:After disabling it (using the helpful instructions from other posts), I'm still getting the "no storage space" messages and DB is not syncing. After disabling the backup feature, did you delete any backups that were already stored in your account? Check your Backups page.

@"Robert F.41" wrote:Are these instructions out of date or am I just doing it wrong? You need to be on one of the List views.

@"vinylcharmer" wrote:DB says this is due to my account being over my limit of 8.2 GB at 8.4 GB. Ok, fine but I can't find anywhere how my Files/Folders are taking that much space. Check your Backups page.

@"aungmintun1" wrote:Can I get a refund? I subscribed to a yearly professional dropbox subscription by accident after a free 30 day trial that I forgot to cancel. You can try contacting Support, but typically Dropbox does not provide refunds. * https://help.dropbox.com/plans/refund

@"Mebius" wrote:On the HP no sync icons at all. I could not find out why and did not manage to make the icons appear on the HP as well. Have you reinstalled the Dropbox application yet?

@"luru2" wrote:However after deleting everything ... the information about the available space still does not get updated (2.03gb of 2gb used) Wait a couple of hours and check the space usage again. It's not always instant anymore. Also, check your Backups page for any space being used.

@"ostbeyer" wrote:But in order to download the files automatically, I first need to designate a location on the hard disk, don't I? But where do I do that? When you install the Dropbox application it will create a Dropbox folder in your user profile, though you have the option to select a different location during the…

@"KrisVD" wrote:Dropbox says there is no more space but I used 0.0%. Have you actually checked your Backups page? Are there any backups still listed?

@"ALTSEOUL" wrote: I deleted hundreds of files to make space 2 weeks ago but my Dropbox still says that it’s full. Check your Backups page.

@"ostbeyer" wrote:... I want to physically migrate this shared Dropbox folder to my new PC. How can I do that? The easy method is to just install the Dropbox application on the PC and sign in to your account. All of your files will sync to your computer automatically.

@"imprincesz" wrote:Someone shared a folder with me before but every time that person shares a link from that folder, I get an error message ... What's the error message? Are you sure they're creating a shared link and not just copying the link from the address bar of their browser (that won't work)?

@"Noah808" wrote:I am uploading simple PDFs and I am getting the same error every single time. Wait a little while and try again. Dropbox just had a brief interruption with some services.

@"dustdog0" wrote:Cannot access my Vault though web access. Why not? What happens when you try? Are you getting an error message? Have you tried a different browser? etc. Without more information it's difficult to suggest how the issue might be resolved.

@"Joel D" wrote:The ultimate goal is to have my Drobo NAS drives to automatically back up to Dropbox ... Dropbox doesn't support NAS units. The way most people use them with Dropbox is through a Dropbox app supplied by the NAS company (a custom, unofficial app that uses the Dropbox API). Check to see if Drobo has their own…
