I want to know which of my friends viewed a shared file link posted to them at an earlier date.
I just upgraded to Dropbox Professional (perhaps in error?) because I read that with that version it would be possible to determine who (if any) on my email list might have viewed a shared file link provided in the text of my email message. Thus far the Dropbox site says to hover over a gray avatar or something but I see…

I need to save my Android photos to Dropbox directly as .jpg not .jpeg.
Hi all, As of a few days ago I finally figured out a great solution to my workflow by using an Android phone to take my pictures directly into Dropbox as Android creates .jpg file extensions which is the only extension a few of my other online systems accept. After checking the process again yesterday, I noticed that right…

Not sure if I am posting this to the right board. I am part of a private group on Facebook, and someone made a comment to someone else that included a Dropbox link to an audio file.
