Why do shared folders count against both the owner's and collaborator's storage limits?
I freelance and have multiple clients with their own Dropbox accounts. After using Dropbox since 2014 I can quite honestly say the worst feature of Dropbox is that Shared Storage counts towards my limits: https://help.dropbox.com/storage-space/storage-space A few times, clients share their folders with me so I can pull…

Sharing suspended due to phishing content
My sharing ability has been suspended. I THINK that this was triggered when I accidentally mistyped an email address for sharing a folder. I assume that when the "nondeliverable" message bounced back to Dropbox, the platform decided that "my files might contain phishing content." But now I can't access anything relating to…

Shared folder is taking up space in my personal Dropbox account
I am doing short term work for a client (1 month) and they have shared a folder with me that I will need to access and edit via dropbox, which I do not use for my business.

People I shared my folders with cannot access due to "not enough space" - this is unacceptable
I am the tech lead for my church and I have people who take photos of services and events. I wanted to use Dropbox as a place where they could upload their photos and the Pastor and I could get them to use for our website and other multi-media uses. I personally upgraded to a 3TB plan so that I would have plenty of space…

Sharing file results in "You've hit the limit of invites for today. Try again later."
I have not been able to use DropBox for months. I consistently get this error message whenever I try to send a file. I've used this service, without issue, for years—and now it's completely unusable. For clarity, this happens on my first attempt to send a file. The only way this error makes sense is if my limit of…

Dropbox will not allow me to copy any Dropbox links, for any file
I am running the Dropbox desktop app on Mac OS. Every time I try to copy a Dropbox link, it either fails (if I use the right-click menu) or tells me I don't have permission (if I use another interface, such as the app dropdown menu).

It would be helpful if people without Dropbox accounts could comment on shared files
It would be helpful if 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 comments could make…

How can I remove my old shared files on my account?

Add a "Projects" feature that groups folders, comments, and file requests in one workspace
Right now the pieces of a single project live in different corners of Dropbox: the parent folder holds the assets, comments sit on individual files, and file requests are managed from a completely separate section. There's no single view that shows the state of one project. The idea: a "Project" container that lets you…

I'd love the ability to be able to search for shared folders filtered by a specific user.
It would be very useful to have a feature that allows users to search for all folders shared with a specific person. Many Dropbox users (like myself) have hundreds of shared folders with dozens of collaborators. Currently, if I want to find all folders that a particular user has access to, there appears to be no way to do…
