@"Osbourne" wrote: So its better to talk via email, not here. It depends on the issue. Your is an account related matter which would require personal information/details which can't be discussed in this PUBLIC forum. This is why email addresses and other personal information are removed from posts.

@"garethd" wrote:never assume too much about how much they know about their own migration tool!! It is Microsoft, after all (spoken with 30 years IT experience working with their garbage products). Good luck!

@wwsande wrote: But, when using my office computer, when I choose the folders I want to sync locally, all the files of the selected folders are downloaded, and this option doesn't appear to me when I right click the file. You don't need to run Dropbox as an admin. Dropbox will prompt for admin credentials if needed,…

@"garethd" wrote:We are attempting to migrate some data to Sharepoint using the Microsoft migration tool. Following a successful scan, we have a number of error reports ... This sounds like something you should be asking about on Microsoft's support forum. The people there would have more knowledge about their own tool.

@"N-Remote" wrote:I have windows 10 and i cannot see a folder which was shared with me in dropbox. Another colleague that has an iMac does see the folder but i do not see it. Rename the folder. The folder likely has a name using characters that are not compatible on a Windows operating system. macOS can use characters that…

@"CWayman" wrote: I am not storing these files in my Dropbox account. I have them on my hard drive. I want to upload them from my hard drive up to the organization Dropbox account into a folder the Executive Director kindly created for me. The files may not be in your Dropbox account now, but if you're a member of a shared…

@"esthera" wrote:I have a dropbox account and I'm uploading and copying pictures and documents to my account. ... The date of the pictures and documents changes in the date of today ... This is normal if you're uploading files to your account. The files are newly created on the Dropbox server, so their date will show the…

@"iasstudygroup" wrote:i am not deleting the file but Files in my dropbox are automatically deleted ... Dropbox can't delete files on its own. It's simply not capable of it. If a file is being deleted, then either you, another process on your device or someone else with access to the folder is deleting the file. Restore…

@"CWayman" wrote:I have numerous files to upload. So they would need to send me a file request for hundreds of files? They can send you a single file request and you can use it to upload multiple files. I don't see the logic in forcing me to have space in my personal account when I'm not storing the files in my personal…

@"TeeB" wrote:This is their response: you need to upload the images into a hoster and the hoster will return you an URL to insert into the CSV. That's the only way to put images into a CSV file. What they're likely referring to is uploading an image into your Dropbox storage, generating a shared link to that file, and…

@"midiman7472" wrote:The message when opening a file in the folder is 'this is a online only folder, please copy it to dropbox'. So I hope I am right that this has something to do with a Dropbox settings/permissions? It's not a settings or permissions issue. Dropbox has a feature that allows you to remove a file or folder…

@"tym07" wrote:Is there a way to downgrade the version of Dropbox on the computer. No, because even if you install the older version, it will automatically update almost immediately. I just updated to the newest version today (10/25/22), and the dropbox folder has disappeared from my desktop and is only available on cloud…

@"DV87" wrote:Personally, I'd prefer if my Dropbox would never automatically offload files that I've specifically chosen to download. Mark them as Available Offline and they'll never switch back to Online-only. Based on my Smart Sync preferences (screenshot below), it seems like files I've downloaded shouldn't be getting…

@"1258" wrote:I want to play Survivalcraft 2 on Dropbox Dropbox isn't a gaming platform. Contact the developers of SurvivalCraft is you're having problems with it.

@"Osbourne" wrote: Thank you very much for your answers, Rich. But how can I contact support? They don't have any contacts. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for log-in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to…

@"Osbourne" wrote: The thing is that i did not change the password and i remember it. I know, that it is correct. Passwords periodically expire. This is why it's important to always have a valid email address on any account you use. They are often the only means of getting back in if you ever gain access, and I'm not just…

@"Osbourne" wrote: But how can I enter my account now? If you don't remember your password or it's expired, you can't. You'll need access to the email account. Perhaps you can contact the mail provider and ask that they reactivate the mail account. You can try contacting Support, but they likely won't give you access to…

@"Osbourne" wrote: So, i need Dropbox to change primary email in my profile as it does not exist anymore. They won't do that. If you don't have access to the email address associated with your Dropbox account, and you're not able to sign in due to a forgotten or expired password, then there's no way to gain access to the…

@"sudhanshu_cma" wrote:Dropbox can think of a plan starting with lower spaces say 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, etc. Dropbox has trialed smaller plans in the past, with little success. There's likely a post in the Share an Idea section asking for this same thing again. You can add your reply there, or start your own if the idea is…

@"iamveryconfused12" wrote:... I had something sent to me via Dropbox. Never had anything sent before so I wasn't sure if this was a phishing attempt. It could be a fake phishing email with a spoofed sender address (very easy to do) or (most likely) it could be a phishing attempt that's just using Dropbox as the transfer…

@"langshipley" wrote:Hi, yes. I am on Windows 11. Was Dropbox already installed on the computer when you updated to Windows 11, or was Dropbox installed after the computer was already on Windows 11?

@"dazonic" wrote: I’ve got a folder on my Mac in the home directory, ~/Code is there any way to include this in backup? No. You would need to move the folder into your Dropbox folder so it can sync.
