Links to open file *location* locally
Our company has many machines across platforms linked to one archive. We often send links to one another via Teams. By default the links open on the web. We want to be able to send links that open the local file's location and not the file itself. For example, you can make a link, post it and then click the "open on…
Provide switch to turn off Auto-renew
Currently the only way to turn off auto-renew in a user profile is to schedule a subscription change to upgrade or downgrade the subscription. What if the user does not want to change the subscription but simply woud prefer to manually approve a renewal? There should be a simple, intuitive way to toggle the auto-renew…
Automatic logout
I think it would be great and very secure if dropbox logged out automatically after a period of time - decided by the owner of the account (for example after 1, 2 or x minutes) - when no actions have been made on it. This would prevent other user from using the account if the owner unadvertedly got away from the pc and…

Allow global settings for Transfer notifications
For people who use Dropbox Transfer a lot it would be helpful to have default settings that mean we are not notified when someone downloads a transfer, when a transfer is about to expire, etc etc. I do not understand why this is not an easy choice to make.
I'm not receiving the 2FA code to enter my main Dropbox account.
Hello there, When logging into my account, the two-step verification code is not coming. "We sent a code to your number ending with xxxx" but no sms is received. There is no device on which my account is open. So I can't remove two-step verification. When I use the same phone number on another account, the code comes up.…
I cannot create a new Dropbox account with an older email address
Existing Dropbox account was under a work email; shifted this across to personal email (needed to secure content immediately), with a view of opening a second account under the work email at a later date.

Is there a way to disable the hover sidebar online?
I use the online version of Dropbox on Firefox. I do not use the app. Is there a way to disable the sidebar that pops up when you hover over the left side of the screen? The sidebar was already fine as it was, allowing you to expand or retract it when necessary. I'm sure someone finds the hover useful, but it drives me…

When trying to update my email, it says the new one is already taken.
I am having trouble updating my email. When I type in my preferred email it says that the email is already in use. Where would I find that information?
I was asked to enter a new password, but that created a new Dropbox account.
My password wasn't accepted when trying to access my account recently. Instead, I was asked to set a new password meeting DropBox's more stringent requirements. Well and good! Anyway, I did as asked but then found myself with a new account and all my files missing! Fortunately, I have back-ups; just as well, but I…
Feedback on the support I'm getting while trying to restore files
I lost some files… I created a ticket… I was told my account could be "rolled-back" to a certain time/date so my files could be recovered…. It got sent up to the "Recovery Team". The recovery team didn't do ANYTHING I actually asked for. They tried something totally different, and it didn't work. They sent me a message at…
