Share

I need to remove some members from my shared folders, but I don't seem to be the owner.
I have discontinued a business relationship with a few people and would now like to unshare some of my folders in Dropbox. However, I don't seem to be able to do that, and what's worse, one of the ex-associates seems to be the OWNER of a folder in my account! How do I fix this? Mike.
I want to share PDFs from my Dropbox for others to preview
I want to use the URLs of some PDFs held in a Dropbox folder to load them in a Google sheet. My hope is that when a member of the Dropbox business team clicks it, it will open in preview mode in the browser. If I copy the link address, this is not the address of the individual file I right-clicked - it only loads the whole…

I've been using Dropbox for about 15 years and over the past 5 years, use the public links feature to share small files with my music production colleagues. 5mb or so per file.

What is happening to the Dropbox Send & Track feature?
I bought DropBox ONLY because it had the Send and Track feature. Am I correct in understanding, that: * That it no longer functions and I should another service, open a separate account (both DropBox AND Send and track subscription) or what should I do? * That I cannot find my old reports? Because no matter where I look, I…

Please allow us to create file requests from the desktop app's context menu again.
Before the updates in the past several months I was able to click on a folder in dropbox and create a link to request files easily. That feature is now gone and I have to not only log into the web dropbox but I have to drill down to the folder each time I want to create the link. This is cumbersome since I have hundreds of…
