Why am I getting requests from strangers to access my private Dropbox files?
Hi, can you explain to me why I receive (and it happened 2 times) access requests from strangers to my private files?And possibly how to remedy this problem so you don't receive any more... Thank you very much...
I can’t create a new shared link on Dropbox; I get an error.
For some reason now, I’m getting an error message trying to share a file or folder from my Dropbox. I have the Basic account and therefore no support from Dropbox. I have tons of files I need to have access to share or to be able to recover them and move to a friendlier service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dropbox says I've had too many invites and I can't share my file.
When I try to share a file it says that I have had too many invites today; wait 24 hrs. and try again. I have not shared any that day and when I wait 24 hours I get the same message.
My Dropbox is full (1.99 GB / 2 GB), but I have no files.
My Dropbox is full (1.99 GB / 2 GB), but I have no files. There is a shared file/folder that shows a 404 error and I cannot remove or leave it. I cannot add it (storage full), cannot delete it, and no options are available. It seems like a ghost shared folder is using all my space. Can someone from Dropbox support fix this?

I see a white screen when trying to share a file/folder via the desktop app.
Not sure what happened it worked fine all these years. Now when clicking on sharing a file or folder I get a white empty box with the dropbox logo on the left upper corner. Not sure what is going on. I need to use that feature for my clients. Thanks,
"You've hit the limit of invites for today" error on my very first share of the day
I use Dropbox for a single file transfer once per week. On the first attempt for this week I get an error message "You've hit the limit of invites for today. Try again later". Trying again at a later time only provides the same error message. Its kind of annoying that this is happening at all. Is there any quick fix I can…
I'm sensitive about my information being exposed online especially in my school and personal email.
Whenever I finish uploading my file "Project FLM for Remembered Collaborations. Zip," I am struggling to find a button or something to click so I can make it not show my email when sharing links to random people, especially my YouTube videos about showcasing my work in music or sample packs. I don't want my information to…

Email Address Privacy Toggle Switch for Shared Folders for Users That Only Have the Ability to View
When you "share a folder" all users of that folder can see all of the other users email addresses. This is privacy issue. If I give 500 people the ability to "view" but not "edit" the folder, I don't want all these people to see the other people's email addresses. There is no reason for them to see them. There is no…

I've shared a folder with other people, but they can't access it.

How can my client send me files larger than 5GB, if they don't have a Dropbox account?
I have dropbox plus account. My client does not have a dropbox account. Nor does he want one. How can he send me files that are 5gb and up? I'm always getting hit with the 2gb limit.

I sent a "File Request" to a free account, but the person can't send me large files.
I have a 2TB Pro plan, and I'm sending a "File Request" to a friend which has a free account, but he still can't upload files larger than 2GB in that shared link.

Can I stop external shared link recipients from being prompted to sign up?
Hi, I am trialing dropbox advanced ahead of possible rollout. It works well on the team side, but when i share a link for an external user to browse - once they try to download it aggressively prompts them to sign up with a tiny 'download only' link. Its a deal breaker for us, it looks unprofessional and we know customers…
