I have my own dropbox and I have a shared folder that we use for work. I cannot copy dropbox links from either one.

Some shared links have expired on my Basic account, even though I didn't set an expiration date
Hi, I've added a few shared folders, some with music files, one with two image file, and three with a single image file each.

How can I delete all shared links to a folder and its subfolders?

Any way to turn an Invite to large folder, into a simple share link?
I work with video editors, and they keep "inviting" me to collab on a folder. The folders are bigger than my alloted storage space. I don't need to collab on the folder, I just need to see the folder and download a couple files. So there is no need for me to buy more storage. I know that they should just send me share…

How do you view the access record of people who's icons are not showing up? I have 11 other people that have shared access to my folder, but I can't access their grey icon to see if they have viewed the file? Or does that mean none of those people have accessed the file yet?

Hi, Using Dropbox for Business we've noticed that the shared link history that's at https://www.dropbox.com/share/links is no longer updating with new shared links. I appreciate any input on this one if only to confirm that it's been deprecated or something has changed that I can re-enable. Cheers,
How can I get a client to star or favourite images in a Dropbox Folder?

Seeing images that have been starred or commented on by others a folder has been shared with
Apparently, this has been rumbling on since 2018 but instead of resolving it Dropbox just locks the threads claiming to have resolved it! If they have I cannot find out how.
