"copy dropbox link" missing or replaced with "send with transfer"?
The main thing I use Dropbox for "copy dropbox link" is no longer appearing when I right click on a file in Windows Explorer.

Hi! We run an annual Rotary scholarship program. We need a portal where more than 100 scholarship applicants can upload pdf, doc, and video files without having to "create an account" or login.

I want to share a folder, but can't do so, since I have shared subfolder, so I proceeded and unshared all the subfolders (by deleting all the other members of these subfolders) and I did the same with share files, but still am unable to share the main folder. I check and saw that even though, there is only one member for…

Someone shared a folder with me before but every time that person shares a link from that folder, I get an error message even though that particular file can be found within that shared folder. Why is that? How can I access that link?

When I send the link to a friend, he gets the message You don't have access You can ask the person who shared the link to invite you directly. Does the other person need to have a dropbox account?

sharing only part of pdf
I am a contractor and have pdf's that include multiple pages. I would like to only select certain pages of the pdf for sharing to certain subcontractors rather than the complete set. Is this possible?
Why are my files being directed to upgrade their accounts when I share files with them?
I regularly have clients tell me that they cannot view the files I have sent to them because their Dropbox account doesn't have enough space and that they are being directed to upgrade their accounts by buying more storage space. Not understanding why this is happening to them I usually use WeTransfer to send the files and…

Sending Sharing Links
I'm trying to share a Dropbox folder with collegues but no matter how many times I send out the links only some of them receive the links. They are not going to juck. I think those not getting the sharing link might not have the Dropbox app loaded. Could this be the problem?
Only you have access
'Only you have access' appears on some of my files - how to I change this?
Updating a file changes the link...
I noticed today that editing a file and resaving it without changing the name now changes the Dropbox link, and it definitely didn't used to do that before. That was one of the great things with Dropbox, you could update a document without having to worry about whoever had the shared link needing to get a new one.
the same shared link cannot use somehow.
Hi all, I want to be able to update a file while maintaining the same Dropbox shared link. However, when I replace it with another file with the same name, the link no longer works. The following discussion says it should work, so I guess Dropbox changed the policy? If so, is there any way to use the same link?…

Hi, How can I just send an Email (or a message, whatever, some text) to all the members of a DropBox group. I don't want to share a folder or a file: the folder is already shared. I just want to send an email (a text or whatever) to all the members of the shared folder. It should be obvious but I can't find an easy way to…

Custom folder icons on Mac are not working
I have hundreds of folders, each with a custom icon. On Mac, this is saved as a hidden file in the folder (Icon?). Dropbox renames this file to 'Icon_' when syncing and removes the bit from the folder that says it has a custom icon. I know this has been going on for a long while. Does DB support folder icons? Or do I have…
Disable URL to screenshot when taking a screenshot
When I take a screenshot, a public URL to it is automatically copied. This has been annoying in a few situations because I had some code copied that I wanted to paste, but overwritten by the screenshot URL. How can I disable dropbox from automatically copying the URL to my clipboard? I'm on macOS.
Dropbox Not Compatible with Windows 11 - Cannot Share via Outlook
When I select a file in Dropbox and click "Share" at the very top, it does not sync with my Microsoft Outlook for some reason. I would like to send files via email that way rather than having to manually create an email and then find and attach the document, but whenever I click "Share", the window pops up like I don't…
How can I see if someone has viewed a shared file
How can I see if someone has viewed the files that I put in dropbox? If there is no other way than to purchase an upgraded plan then dropbox sucks. Why would anyone use dropbox, if you can't tell is someone has viewed a file that you sent to them? It's better to use Box.com as it shows who has viewed and who has downloaded…
Can I create a folder for multiple people to add to with only the owner seeing the files?
I recently went on a work trip and we are looking for a way to compile all our photos into one safe location. Is it possible to have guests add their photos, but not view everyone's? Just the owner can see all the files? There would be at least 10 different people adding photos, and I can't have all uploaders viewing the…
New Options for Dropbox file
Some these ideas maybe a little redundant but here goes. The first sset of options deals with how the files will be stored in the cloud. These options are: compress (which I believe is done today), asis (store the file without compression) or conditional (the file is first checked for viability of compress. if the file can…

I want to keep access to some documents a family member has shared with me, before they close their dropbox account. A family member is about to close their dropbox account, but before they do they wanted me to have some of the documents they had prepared.
