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…

How do you organize job photos and documents for a small service business?
I run a small local service business where we deal with a lot of job-related photos and documents. Each job can have before-and-after photos, customer details, estimates, invoices, and other files that need to stay organized. I’m looking at ways to keep everything easy to find without creating a complicated folder…

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). The same error occurs on the web interface. I have also tried rebooting my computer to no…

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?
I un-installed Dropbox on my iPhone and PC to purge all files returning to the free account. Re-installing, my iPhone now shows old shared files between the two.

I need to copy and share links to my folders and files in order to share to clients and I keep getting an error message saying you have interrupted my sharing activity.

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…

The ability to comment without having to sign in.
Many companies prohibit employees from generating their own Dropbox account, which is needed to comment on the files. So I'd love to have a way for people to put their email and just add comments.

I am have been trying to share folders with my team - business related information that has no harmful content or anything that I believe could be considered 'phishing content'. Is someone please able to tell me how I can get this blocker removed? Thanks

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…

All my Dropbox shared links suddenly stopped working for other users.
Hello, I'm encountering a major issue with Dropbox sharing, and I’m trying to understand what’s going wrong. It seems that all of my shared links are no longer accessible to external users. When I open them while logged into my account, everything works fine. However, if I test the same links in a private/incognito window…

Need more characters allowed in File Transfer
Dropbox Transfer only accepts 21 characters in the title (in the transfer widget not regular Dropbox sharing). It would be great if this can be expanded to more characters. Some companies that I send files to require specific words in the file names for versioning. ID, date, etc so file names become long. This Idea has…

Extend the expiration date for shared links to maybe 5 years.
Currently the maximum expiration for shared links is 1 year. Allowing for up to 5 years would be helpful. We want the links to expire eventually just for good hygiene, but for ongoing external collaboration we currently have to renew annually.

Automated email reminders for expiring shared links.
As a marketing agency/media company, our team does a high volume of link sharing with clients. For security purposes, we set links to expire at the maximum 1 year interval allowable on Dropbox. Is there a way that the link creator can receive a simple reminder when a link is about to expire so they can send a replacement…
