Unfortunately, no one could access the link and she didn't get…

If you select "link" Dropbox transfer does not track who got the link, and sayd it was downloaded, but not by…

Shared Links not working in Word or Publisher
I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and am using Office 2010. Shared links used to open when I inserted them in Word or Publisher documents. They no longer work. Links that I uploaded before the upgrade do not work. If I insert the shared link in an email, it works fine. The problem seems to be exclusive to Office docs. I…

If one person pays extra to be able to store large amount of files, why people who this folder=is shared with have to pay for it too? Make it only available through web app and not visible on desktop- but don't ask me to purchase extra space for…
