How can I save scanned documents into specific folders?
I need to be able to scan directly into shared files. So far I can only manage to scan into my personal file. Doesn't seem like much of a big deal because I could move the file from there, BUT when there's over 20 scans a day, it is a big deal for what I need to accomplish because of time and training others. Does anyone…

Allow Team Admin to manage "Online Only" settings globally for all Team folders
My team consists of 4 other members, in a distributed environment, one of whom is also a Team Admin.

In fact, I don't want them to have to go there - it…
Adding a clarifying video to an uploaded file
Few weeks ago I uploaded a questionnaire in my dropbox account. As I did that, a small icon appeared at the bottom left, a circle with a man in it (sorry, I know it sounds silly). The man was saying: "Add a clarifying video to your document". So I now would like to do that but I really do not know how as the man does not…

Dropbox deleted all my local files and won't let me re-download them
I migrated to a new Mac today, and moved all my files over from the old machine. I have all my files in the Dropbox folder.

The blue refresh…
Changes I make to files on my PC do not reflect on Dropbox
I thought the idea of Dropbox was that if I change the file on my PC then the changes appear on Dropbox?
