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. Am now at that later date, but Dropbox will not allow a new account using my name and work email, and defaults back to…
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…

How to get ownership of my Dropbox account that someone else created?
Previous owner deleted themselves and now I can't even add them back because I don’t have ownership. How do I get ownership of my Dropbox that someone else created?
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…

Removed from team unexpectedly, team files now in my personal account
Hi, I was part of a Dropbox team and received an email saying I was removed by an administrator. The team owner says she did not remove me and isn’t aware of any changes. Nor does she know how to fix this. After this: * A large folder of team video files is now showing inside my personal Dropbox * These files are taking up…

Conflicted copy when exporting from Adobe Premiere
I reported this issue 2 years ago. Every time I export a movie from premiere, dropbox creates a conflicted copy. I reported this bug 2 years ago and it hasn't been solved. My workaround is to pause dropbox everytime I'm about to export and then resume it. Not ideal
Storage Usage Quota Enforced by Dropbox for Desktop
We would like a (business-focused?) option where we can set a maximum percentage of free disk storage that the Dropbox app is able to use on-disk —ideally to be set within the Dropbox Admin Console and apply to all accounts, though with exceptions available, similar to how the "Storage limit per member" & associated…
Member of multiple teams
On many occasions I have needed to add people to a team account, only to find they are already in another team. Allow people to be part of multiple teams and allow them all to be synchronised locally.
How can I get people to access an account, and to edit a file on my account?
I'm brand new here and looking to do something very basic and simple. But have no clue what I am doing. I'm with a group called NAPS (Nebraska Association of Nebraska Santas). Yes a group of about 30 Santas. It's just a social club. We get together once a month, have meal and talk about Santa stuff. I'm looking to set…
Default should not be "Remove Local Files"
Most recent Windows desktop update allows users to have files only on the cloud (saving local disk space). Problem is by DEFAULT, the update REMOVES all files locally WITHOUT WARNING (i.e. must have internet access to get to them)! For me, this defeats the reason I use DropBox in the first place, and I could just use the…
I think it'd be great to be able to connect multiple team and personal accounts in the desktop app.
Hi Dropbox team — I’m posting this as both a long-time Dropbox user and a business owner. Today, the Dropbox desktop app only allows seamless use of one Business (Teams) account (plus optionally one Personal account). This creates a major problem for users who legitimately operate across multiple organizations. Real-world…
