Ive tried to subscribe to the file in Google Calendar using the Drop Box sharelink, but the calendar events do not appear in the Calendar app. I know the ics file is correct, as I have been…
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?…
Get in touch with all the members of a DropBox group
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…
Team Sharing shared folder limit reached
Hi there, We have a Dropbox Business Standard Account and our team consistently share folders within our Dropbox with external clients with no issues, but for the past week when we go to share, we get the error message: 'This folder can only be shared with a link The parent folder is 1 shared folder over the limit' We have…
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…

Keep safe access to documents when another user has closed their account
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. They shared it with me; and then changed the ownership so I am now…
Dropbox backup lost functionality or is it somewhere else?
I can't find the "Copy shared link" action that I used before, it doesn't enable that option. With the files that are in dropbox.com/home I have no problem, they do allow link sharing, but with those that are in dropbox.com/backups it only gives me the Delete and version history option. Is there any new way to…

Why does a dl.dropboxusercontent.com download link behave differently?
A friend and I share mp3 files through dropbox though I use dropbox.cm and he uses dl.dropboxusercontent.com. The link I send him looks and behaves differently than the one he sends me.

All people can upload files with the link
Hi Community I have one question: I was on a wedding and I want to create one folder where everyone can upload their pictures and videos in one place. Does everyone needs a Dropbox account to upload their pictures and videos in my folder? Or is it possible to do uploads without any dropbox account and only with one link?…

Only the initial video fragment is shared. What could be the problem?
The video(*.mp4) saved in Dropbox is slightly over 1 hour. However, only the initial video fragment (15 min) is shared. It is true for both the shared file and the shared link. What could be the problem?
How to use a shared link?
I don't have a paid account, and I really can't afford one. I would like to send a link to prospective buyers of assorted art works that are photographed and in a Dropbox folder. I've managed to upload the photographs into the folder, but how do I open it up so that more than just me can open the folder and view the…

Are we going to be able to create hundreds of hyperlinks of our images (fiels) stored in a folder so I can add them to my Excel sheet that I need to set up my store with Whoocommerce. I can not manually seach the link of all the files I have (thousands). It would take me…
Accessing an Organization's Account
I have been given links to get into an account for which I serve on the Board of Directors. Each time I click the link, I am taken to my own Dropbox account, not the account of the organization.
