  • How can I get a bulk listing of shared link URLs in a folder?

    Like many people, I need to upload multiple image files to our website (and other websites). At present, the standard DropBox capability is to generate a individual image file URLs (ie one at a time) - a very time consuming process when dealing with *lots* of files. Is there any way to obtain a bulk URL listing for all the…

  • The Dropbox desktop app says I don't have enough disk space and isn't syncing my files, why?

    Hi, My Dropbox is often unwilling to sync folders to my hard drive. Apparently it thinks that my hard drive is full, which is not the case. I have over 600 mb of free space on my hard drive and the files to be synced are maybe 10 mb max in total... I have had my files being synced before with much less hard drive space…

  • Does renaming a folder cause all files in a shared folder to be deleted and then re-added again?

    I have a shared folder that was named "research" and that really turned into a folder to hold all my stuff on academia. It is shared across a few accounts that I control (not sure if that is important or not - I've had this happen with non-shared folders, as well). I renamed the folder from "research" to "academia". This…

  • What is the best practice for syncing and Outlook PST file?

    Ok, I've read a bunch of posts on this topic and I understand the issues about PST file size, upload speed, etc. I have a PST file about 500MB, which will stay about that size and I just want to back it up to Dropbox, preferably daily or at least weekly. So what is the best way to backup/sync an Outlook PST file? Should we…

  • How can I cancel the syncing process on my Mac?

    Want to STOP the SYNC - not just pause then resume. Regrettably I began to sync my iPhotos to Dropbox and I can't stop the process - it PAUSES it but does not eliminate the process. I have far too many photos and it takes up too much bandwidth. I bought 1TB - and don't want to put my iPhoto library into Dropbox. I am using…

  • Scheduling Uploads to Dropbox

    We use dropbox to share photos with clients. We can have 4-6GB to upload in a day of various files. I would like to schedule this to happen overnight rather than during the working day. Of course I forget to do this last thing as I leave the studio. Any way to have this done so I can schedule it during the day and then the…

  • Can I change the name of the link to a Dropbox folder ?

    Hi: I have a LinkedIn account for my work background, job hunting, etc. LinkedIn allows you to upload documents, e.g., resumes to your Profile for others to view, but they cannot download them. On my resume, I include a link to my LinkedIn.com Profile so that potential employers can view additional information by just…

  • Why is LAN sync not working on my Windows machines?

    Hi. I'm wondering why Drobox's LAN Sync feature is a hit or miss, at least for me. Sometimes it would download the files through the internet despite being on the same network with my other PC. I've done the following already: - Allow Dropbox through the firewall, I even tried disabling the firewall of both PC -…

  • Can I use my HP printer to scan files directly into my Dropbox account?

    Just bought an HP 8620 n the understanding that it can scan directly to dropbox (i.e. without me needing a computer in the process...) but it doesn't actually seem to be able to? (Does do Google Docs?).

  • We're having trouble streaming .mov files from Dropbox shared links

    Hi We have a site where we are trying to stream some of our videos from dropbox. We have been able to stream .mp4 files using the following code <p><video width="640" height="480" controls="controls"><source src="/ [[Removed as per Community Guidelines]([Removed as per Community Guidelines]); type="video/mp4"></video></p>…
