@"BPOP123" wrote:we are a sporting club and are using general dropbox not business. One of our members set up drop box for all our clubs files however this member has now left and I am not sure how to block his access to drop box. Who controls the account? Non-Business accounts don't have admins. Such accounts are intended…

@"Ricochetrick2" wrote:I would like to send them a Transfer using a link , but it doesn't need to be a downloadable file . View only is preferred. How is this accomplished ? That's not how Transfer is used. Transfer is meant for transferring files to another person. It doesn't have permissions that can be set. If you just…

@"mimicohero" wrote:In November, my work-related google account was deleted. ... How would I go about cancelling this subscription and then request a refund ... If your subscription was through the Google Play Store, you'll need to contact Google. Dropbox won't have any information regarding your payments.

That's typically something controlled by an operating system, not another application, so it would be Apple or Google that would need to implement something like that.

@"Leg-o-lasz" wrote:Getting the message "Oh, hi! We apologize for this little bump in the road." when I click on the section "Deleted files" on the left, inside Dropbox Web. The Deleted Files page seems to be down at the moment. Wait a bit and try again.

@Greg-at-anypoint wrote: Where / how do I find it when I log in to my account and is it only for business accounts? That appears to be an activity log, which is available to the team admin on Business accounts. https://help.dropbox.com/teams-admins/admin/view-activity

@Sara Heath wrote: apple has been billing me for the past year ... drop box says I no longer have plus ... Has anyone found a phone number? There is no phone number. Phone support is available to Business customers and it's handled via a callback initiated through the account's Admin console. All others can find the…

@"FeeG" wrote: ... is it possible to sync dropbox to an external hard drive? I just want to be able to have an external backup, but one in which if I make changes to a folder (i.e. delete, reorganise etc) the external HD will reflect those changes. No, Dropbox has no such feature. While you can store your Dropbox folder on…

@"hmedia" wrote:do you mind quoting the reason ? That forum link is access denied to us regular peasants It's a newer restriction from the latest versions of macOS. Simply put, it's controlled by macOS; not Dropbox.

@"Chris The Photo Taker" wrote:Can anyone help to tell me how to get support? You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing…

@"Mohammedjmahmood" wrote:Please all, my account was deleted due to inactivity. Is there any way i can restore the files and photos inside it? Unfortunately, once an account is deleted, neither the account nor the files within it can be recovered.

@"RayhanHosain" wrote:According to dropbox, I have used more than 2 gb. But I have moved all the files on dropbox to another folder and i could see that the total size of the files is only 132 mb. You're either a member of one or more shared folders which also take up space in your account, of you've activated the backup…

And I needed a way to get these links at once, not having to click on each file and copy the link If you have programming knowledge you could use the Dropbox API to generate the links. Otherwise, links need to be created individually. *…

@"Sean Q.1" wrote:I was excited by the news that we can edit PDFs in Dropbox, but when I tried, I discovered that I cannot edit the text of a PDF Keep in mind also that not all PDF files can be edited. A PDF can be imaged based, like when a page of text is scanned to a PDF file, and the text in such a file can't be…

@"Operations8" wrote: My files in dropbox folder are showing a grey X. Which often is a Windows error, but in this case probably not. I am ONLY getting it in my Dropbox folder. Any ideas? Dropbox has no grey X icon. What you're seeing is likely coming from Windows.

@"DylanMurtagh" wrote:I've just logged in to dropbox and everything on my PC has now been synced to Dropbox. If I unsync it, it logs me out. If I log back in it just resyncs. I've deleted files from my Dropbox and it's deleted them from my PC. Dropbox is a sync tool. It's main purpose is to sync files between your PC and…

@"tescobedo8" wrote:I just started using the back up feature in Dropbox but it seems to only back up 3 folders: DOWNLOADS, DESKTOP & DOCUMENTS. I don't keep important stuff in any of these. How do I select my 2 most important folders? It doesn't seem to let me choose. You can't just select any folder. The backup feature…

@"RebeccaConfuse" wrote:I am having the same issues, is there a way to bring back syn->online or local option at all? That sub-menu no longer exists. The items are now listed on the main context menu as Make available offline and Make online-only.

@"beatmixer0097" wrote:... it seems VERY odd that I'm forced to spend money to share images to somehow who has paid for their large account for a job we are trying to complete. It's because you're not uploading images directly to someone else's larger account. You're uploading them to your own account, into a folder that…

@"Toobusyforthiscrap" wrote:Dropbox says I'm out of space, so I deleted almost everything, it still says I'm out of space. If Dropbox is saying you're out of space, you're out of space. Remember to check any shared folders you're a member of because these take up space in your account as well. You can see your actual usage…

Create a file request and copy the URL, then use a QR code generator to create a QR code for the URL (Dropbox doesn't do this part). Anyone that scans the QR code will be…

@"dnewb1580" wrote:Missing Files After my subscription renewed today almost all (95%) of my files disappeared and are not in recently deleted files. Renewing your account doesn't (and simply can't) cause your files to go missing. Are you sure you're signed in to the correct account? If so, take a look at your Events page…

@"cindy t.3" wrote:And for those of us who are the ONLY account on our computer? Why can't I get to these? Deleting old log files really shouldn't be an issue. You're not the only account on your computer, even when you're the only user. There are accounts used by the operating system, such as System if you're on a Windows…

@"cindy t.3" wrote:... everything after is demanding admin authorization, even though I am the admin. Being an administrator means nothing if the security on a file doesn't grant access to administrators. Being an admin also doesn't automatically grant you access to every file and folder on your computer. It just means you…

@"mgsallee" wrote:I though the purpose of dropbox was for everything to be saved to a 'cloud' so that it does not use up space on my computer?? No, that's not the primary use of Dropbox. First and foremost, Dropbox is a file synchronization service, meant to keep the files stored in your local Dropbox folder synchronized…
