@"JCplusULTRA" wrote:I've uninstalled and reinstalled anyway, so we'll have to wait for it to rear its ugly head again. Have you left it uninstalled for a few days, to make sure it doesn't happen when Dropbox isn't installed? If it's consistently failing after a days, leave it uninstalled for at least that long and see…

@"Aadi12" wrote:Error, When using Batch Operation Is this something you're doing through the Dropbox API? If so, I'll move your post to the appropriate section for help with the API.

@"virtualgaintechnologies" wrote:I have upgraded the Dropbox to 2TB yet my team members aren't able to upload the files. I have given them the access to my dropbox still they aren't able to upload it. You upgraded. They have not. If you've shared a folder with them, they're still limited to the amount of available space in…

@"Arafel" That appears to be the proper format for a link. Towards the end of the link it says & before the dl. Change it so that it's just & before the dl (remove the amp;).

@"Arafel" wrote:A friend is trying to share some files with me. He can see them on his end, but when I click the links he sends I get a 400 error ... What do the links look like? Scramble the file name or a portion of the link so it doesn't work, and post one here.

@"trygwest" wrote:Sadly, our administrator passed away earlier this year, and only he could grant access to others. It sounds like you're not using an actual Business team account, but probably just a shared folder that multiple people have access to, and the owner of the folder was the person that has passed away. Would…

@"CrankyD" wrote: I wonder how much difference a SSD would make, if any? It would make a huge difference during the indexing and writing process, though 1.3 million files would still take a very long time. The number of files Dropbox can handle is largely based on the specs of the computer, but on average you'll see…

@"jdailey" wrote:What does this even mean? It's telling me I've used nearly 1.5 tb when I only have 10gb in my folder? Where are you seeing this? Is it referring to space on your local hard drive or your usage in your Dropbox account? If it's the space in your account, look at your Plan page for a breakdown of your usage.…

@"Frank P E." wrote:There are numerous messages in the event log for dbxsvc -- the Dropbox service -- should I be concerned about this Is Dropbox running normally? If so, there's likely nothing to be concerned about. There will always be events registered in the log.

@"kelvinmizanin" wrote:i upload the video to the dropbox, then when its finished uploading to the cloud. i delete the video from my iphone, as simple as that. ... My storage isn't expanding Go into Settings within the Dropbox app (Account tab, gear icon), scroll to the bottom and clear the cache.

@"tttrue" wrote:i wanted to see if this is truly the case ... Yes, it appears that's the case. There is a workaround, though it would require you to add another level to your folder structure. When you calculate the size of a folder, all subfolders within will also display their size. Create a new folder at the top of your…

@"majcro" wrote: According to instructions on the site: ... I should be able to go to Settings ... but there I only see my card, nowhere to fill in VAT number. You can only add a VAT number if you're on one of the Business plans, which include Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Standard, Business, Advanced, and Business…

@"Kara3" wrote:Hello when i try to download this link [link removed] its always saying 'error 400" can someone help me to understand why? The URL is not formatted correctly. Where it says & it should just say & before the dl. Change this: ?rlkey=in2bo5bo9dxt506q69nz7d93i&dl=0 To this: ?rlkey=in2bo5bo9dxt506q69nz7d93i&dl=0…

@"cb50" wrote:If I have view only access for a drop box folder am I able to upload my edits of the files? No. You would either need edit rights or the owner would need to send you a File Request so you could upload files back to them (which still wouldn't overwrite the original).

@"Semsrms" wrote: I have been charged $44.xx multiple times, without my authorization. How can this be resolved? Refer to the replies above yours for information on how to resolve this.

@"islandnomads" wrote:So my question is, if I upgrade to the next tier of Dropbox (Dropbox Plus?), will I be able to access the modifications I have made ... The recovery period for Basic is 30 days. Upgrading to a higher plan doesn't extend the recovery period for files that are already deleted. It only applies to files…

@"RdL_uy" wrote: I used to have around 2gb of information, now for some reason, all this information suddenly disapeared. When was the last time you accessed the account? Do you see anything on your Events page?

@"Adnil" wrote:Dropbox says storage is full, but I removed all my files from DB ... Checked your Backups page?

@"Immortaleye" wrote:... it is ludicrous to suggest something is 'expected' just because it suits you not to sort an issue. One might say it's also ludicrous to expect a feature to do something that it wasn't intended or designed to do. Starring a file or folder is meant as a way to mark it as a favorite so it's more…

@"melissa13" wrote:I've gone to "backups" and see that the "enable camera uploads" box is unchecked ... Did you check the Camera Uploads setting on each device? It's controlled on the device, not in the Dropbox application on your computer. * https://help.dropbox.com/create-upload/camera-uploads-overview

@"cosmosnicolaou" wrote:Moving a directory results in a timeout error on the command line, or a 'waiting to download' error in the finder. Were the files fully downloaded to the local drive when you removed Dropbox, or were they flagged as Online-only (where the local file is just an alias to the online file)? The default…

@"Harry13" wrote:What happens if a main hdd fails for some reason and my files are deleted everywhere. If your main hard drive fails then Dropbox wouldn't be running, so it couldn't sync your files. If you have Dropbox installed on one drive and your Dropbox folder stored on another (internal) drive, then the same risk…

@"Harry13" wrote:What about deleted files restoration feature? What about it? If you mean as an option for when the mass deletion happens, sure, it's possible, but you're looking at hours or potentially days of restoring and resyncing, depending on how much data you have. The mass deletion isn't just something that "might"…

@"Harry13" wrote:What if I setup dropbox on my laptop but use an external drive as my local dropbox folder. You're risking your data if you choose to do this. If your Dropbox folder is stored on an external drive and that drive is disconnected while Dropbox is running or Dropbox is started before the drive is connected,…

@"Adi123" wrote:Is it possible to retrieve permanently Deleted photo No. Permanently deleted files are deleted... permanently.

@"Harry13" wrote:... I need to take the external hdd with my files and use it offline on any other computer (possibly making changes and additions) but when I get back I need the files in the external hdd to sync with the main hdd and the cloud. That's not something that Dropbox does. You'd have to find another solution to…

@"Dave_Rado" wrote:... renamed the folders to include a colon in the name and for some reason that worked fine on their Mac and on my Android phone but not in Windows File Explorer. The colon is a reserved system character on Windows systems and can't be used in a file or folder name. This is why Dropbox was unable to sync…

@"ckr" wrote:I had to pause sync because there are files I dont wont sync. How do I delete those files shown as "waiting to sync"? If a file is in your Dropbox folder, it's going to sync. If you don't want it to sync, move the file out of your Dropbox folder to another location on your computer.

@"DMcDonald" wrote:Do you have any ideas why DB would stop working properly this week and how to fix? The confusing issue here is that Dropbox has nothing to do with creating documents from a Microsoft template. It's just a method of storage. You need to walk us through the exact process you're using and tell us where it's…

@"trtrenter" wrote:Can I unlock my file on my IPhone and how. If you're referring to the feature to lock a file for editing, yes, you can. When you open the menu for a file, you'll see an option to unlock the file if you were the one to have locked it originally.
