Often when a collaboration on a project is over I wish to leave a shared folder AND keep a copy of the files for myself. On older Dropbox there was an option to do this via the desktop app, this option has now disappeared from the context menu. It is still possible to do this via the dropbox website. One must click an 'x'…

image from python to a website
My Python program produces a .png image that I would like to post for viewing on a website. I understand I may be able to only post a link to the image, but actually posting the image is preferable.

I have shared a folder so anyone with the link can view it. Does that mean that all file within the folder can be viewed/downloaded ? That is what I want. Do I have to share each file in the folder individually? Under "Who can access" it says "only you" after each file name. Thank you,

Rename folder
Hello. I have renamed a shared folder, but it seems only I can see the new name. My colleagues see the old name. Is this a bug? Is it on purpose? It is very confusing that we don't know if we refer to the same folder. I was the owner of the folder when i renamed it.
