Can we allow users to only view and download files or folders shared to them?
We have a website that has about a dozen links to our Dropbox account. These links are to multiple folders containing hundreds of printable music files and set lists in PDF format.

Shared folders should take up space only from the owner's account, not from the members'.
Pretend I'm a user with a paid Dropbox account. I share a folder to 10 people and ask them to upload files to this folder for me so I can work on a project. None of the 10 people has a paid Dropbox account. I created the folder. I own the folder. I want the files they give me. It makes sense that the files they provide me…

How can I make sure only a specific user can access my shared link?
Is there a way to send a share link to a user who does not have a Dropbox account, but restrict the viewing to only that person? In other words, I don't want to send the link with "Anyone with Link" setting, because I don't want them to forward the link to others. I tried the "Only People Invited" option, and I added their…

Shared link keeps changing when clicking and dragging a replacement file into Dropbox desktop
In the past, when you clicked and dragged an item from your computer into your dropbox, it would keep the original shareable link. Seems that now when you do this it creates a new link. How do I stop this? Evertime I click/drag a file I have to send everyone who needs that access the new link.

Please waive the 25GB file limit on web uploads for file requests.
I love that feature where I can send a web url to my clients (its the "file request" feature) and they can drop files into there without having to know how to use dropbox desktop app. but its always so difficult to explain to clients that if they upload files through the web, that theres a 25gb file size limit. Can you…

Is there a way to recover files from a link created by someone who has passed away?

Unfortunately, no one could access the link and she didn't get…
Can I see who has opened our Dropbox transfer link?
I have Dropbox transfer. Once you create a transfer you have two options, "email" "link". If you select email and send the link that way, Dropbox tracks who got the link and let's you know when they opened it. If you select "link" Dropbox transfer does not track who got the link, and sayd it was downloaded, but not by…
Does the URL of a File Request remain the same, even if changes are made to it after its creation?
If one creates a file request, and uses the copied URL... then changes are made to the file request, say maybe the submitter, the description, or the destination folder, does this change the URL that will have to be re-distributed to potential uploaders?

Hi There, My sharing has currently been suspended as I tried to upload a file which was bigger than I thought and exceeded my max storage. I have since removed this file and still am not able to share any files. Is there any way my account can be updated to allow sharing again. Regards Michael
