I was invited to share files on Dropbox. Dropbox won't let me upload the files as account os over the limit.
Hi, we have a Dropbox Teams plan with multiple members all signing in using Single-sign on (Microsoft 365 accounts). We are all using MacOS laptops with the DropBox app all installed and set up. We have also connected the Dropbox app within Microsoft Teams and also added Dropbox as an online storage location within MS…
It would be helpful if https://www.dropbox.com/ Dropbox offered a simple commenting option for people who receive shared files but do not have a Dropbox account. In many workplaces, external collaborators may need to provide feedback without creating another account. Allowing users to verify their email address and leave…
Note: This is not about the preview pane that appears when you tap on a file name. It is, however, about the persistent empty preview pane that appears each time you launch the app, regardless of where you are in Dropbox, before you tap on anything. This has made using the app in vertical (portrait) challenging—read:…
I received a password-protected link to a large file (125 GB) from a client. This file won't download; the download simply stops after about an hour without any error message. I've tried using Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Opera on a Windows system – yes, even in incognito mode – and the result is always the same. And yes, I…

She used the link to register using her email address, and she installed the desktop app on her own laptop but the status of the extra storage for my referral says "Ineligible". We do live together and are on the same network, but she has her own computer…
I have been unable to get Dropbox to allow the folder to be located on an external drive. I had it on a single drive and that worked fine, but that single drive failed, and it now cannot be located to one of the external RAID5 drives. Is there a work around for this?
I am using the Dropbox desktop app on a Mac. Twice now, I have had files deleted out from under me, literally as I was still working on them in Word. In place of the filename, it shows up as a weird temp file. Once I closed it without realizing and thought I had lost the file completely, but was able to restore it by…
Out of the blue I'm having the good old recurring problems with *.idlk files getting locked by Dropbox idiotically trying to sync them. It's been fine for a couple of years for me, until it came back all of a sudden now. I tried setting up Ignore rules in the Dropbox ignore file - to no avail. The program stupidly keeps…
Hi everyone, Theresa here from the Community team. A new school year is here, which makes it the perfect time to reset, get organised and maybe even discover a few new ways to use Dropbox. Whether you're a student, teacher, parent, or you're simply getting back into a routine after the summer, I'd love to hear how you use…
