Is there a way to recover files from a link created by someone who has passed away?
I doubt very much that there is but, is there any way to access a Drop Box account of someone that has recently died without a password? 2 years ago, my sister-in-law took many photo's at my son's wedding and later shared them in a link to a Drop Box account. 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?
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…
Being invited to Edit another users folder but it's 'view only'
I have a basic subscription to Dropbox but I have been invited by another companies/users profile to be able to edit, and add to, one of their folders on their paid account/subscription. They've assured me they've done this with other people who use the same basic (free) subscription I have too. However, when clicking the…

Account Sharing Suspended
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

Shared folders shouldn't occupy your own Dropbox space.
I find it extremely unfair that all people have to pay for accessing a folder. 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…

Order/sorting of folders and files in our subfolders changed
I compile/update a Dropbox table of contents for a club I belong to. Subfolders and files used to be co-mingled together in alpha order within the main folders. Now the folders are listed first (in alpha), then the documents below them (also in alpha).....the folks who have admin rights say that nothing changed.

How long does it take for a shared file to show up in the Sharing tab?
How long does it take for a file shared with someone to appear under "Shared - your shared files will appear here so you can find them easily" I shared a file 6 times today and it has not yet appeared in the "Shared" section. Perhaps it is not considered "shared" until the other side lets you know they've received it.…
