Rich Super User II

@"mes640" wrote:Is there a way to have a file exist in multiple folders without being duplicated a million times? No, there isn't. Think of your Dropbox as just a regular folder on your computer. Any organization is up to the users using that folder.

How are you creating the share link? I've just created one for a folder that contains multiple files and another subfolder of files. The link, modified to ?dl-1, downloads a Zip file that has the same name as the folder, and the content extracts normally.

Yes, any changes made within Dropbox will sync to all other connected computers. There's no other way to revert a change like that without it syncing. Even if you were to rewind the account to a specific day, all the changes would need to sync to the conencted comptuers. Your best course of action is to simply move the…

Only the owner of the file can help you. If they no longer have the file, then I'm afraid there's nothing you can do.

No. Dropbox is not a media player. It can play single files, but will not advance to the next file. Find a media player that works cloud storage providers.

Take a screenshot on your device showing the error. You can then use the Photos icon in the Reply window to add the image to your reply here. That being said, I can open that link on my phone without an issue.

There are no settings that control the file name formats, but you can manually rename files as you're uploading them. There's an option to do so after you select the photo or video that you wish to upload.

Dropbox doesn't (and can't) sync the items on your Desktop on its own. It will only sync the items located within the local Dropbox folder on your hard drive. There have been work-arounds and other third-party utilities that allowed you to sync folders outside of Dropbox, but they are not supported. So to determine how to…

Network Connection Error wouldn't be related to a bandwidth overage.

@"s_l_h" wrote:Hi Fiona, you mention 'early access' - is this just limited to some business accounts currently? Team Admins can enable the feature on the Early Access page within Settings in their Admin console.

@"djg7" wrote:This must have changed. My photos went to Camera Uploads and husband's photos used to go to a shared folder called Camera Uploads from John until Dec 28 2018 when we both got new phones. Nothing has changed. More than likely you were using two different Dropbox accounts and John simply shared his Camera…

There is no such error log on the client.

@"magdas" wrote:Is there no way to download an earlier version of Dropbox for IOS at all? The only way would be if you had previously installed an earlier version and that version was still available through the app store's previous purchases, but as you said, you've never installed it before so that option won't be…

You'll only be able to use the Dropbox website through a browser. You won't be able to install a Dropbox app.

Dropbox doesn't do file conversions. You'll either need to install an application on your computer that can play OGG files (I suggest VLC), or ask the sender to re-send them as MP3 files.

The problem is that you're using a single account for multiple users, when a Dropbox account is meant for a single individual. It's not meant to be shared by multiple people. To Dropbox, everyone using a single account is seen as the same person, so there's no need to limit access to files that the account is the owner of.…

No, that's not possible. Any new files or folders will automatically sync to other computers. Once they've synced, you need to use Selective Sync to remove folders that you don't want on that system. While this won't prevent access to the folders, if you have a Plus, Professional or Business account, you can set certain…

@"Johnheed" wrote:We are on all on Macs and some designers are on PC/Windows. So what would be the embedded path example for this?

@"OriSch" wrote:... will I get my previous 2TB plan back, or will I have a limited basic plan and all my saved files will be deleted? You'll be on a Basic account but your files will not be deleted. When you joined the team, any time remaining on your paid subscription would have been refunded back to you automatically.…

This isn't a Dropbox issue. This happens because applications typically use the full path when linking other files, and everyone's Dropbox is usually stored in a different location on their drive. The Dropbox folder on your computer (let's assume Windows for now) is typically located in your user profile, which would be…

The usage you see on your phone isn't related to the amount of files you have stored in your account. It's the total size of all data in use by the app. This could be files you've opened recently, files you've marked for offline use, cache, etc. There's a Clear Cache link within the apps Settings, or you can…

It's a manual process.

@"AGreenTejada" wrote:But what if I used a JSON file, which is very close to a text file, then told the program to read and write to that? Your problem isn't the type of data storage.

You have a Dropbox Basic account, which is free, thus no Billing tab. Once you have a paid subscription, the Billing tab will become available.

The Billing tab is separate from the Plan tab. * https://www.dropbox.com/account/billing If you still don't see it when clicking that link, check your Plan tab and tell us what plan it says you're on.

@"Valekea" wrote:Okay, so, if I drop the folders into the dropbox folder, you are saying I will also be able to see them when I use my dropbox app on my smartphone or if I go on to the dropbox web browser page, then I will be able to download the files and folders there? Yes. Any files you add to your local Dropbox folder…

Nothing has changed. There's no way to manage Smart Sync programatically.
