How can I preview a .html file as a raw text file, WITHOUT the website trying to format it?
When I try to preview a .html file on the Dropbox web site, especially from the versions page, it tries to format the file as HTML. But that's a problem. What I see is useless. I need to see the RAW Text of the file. How can I do this without using a very clumsy work-around? I am a developer working on software. As would…

Give me a way to preview files in their original Text format
I am a developer. I keep my software in my Dropbox. When am actively working on my software, I make lots and lots of little changes. These files get saved many times throughout the day. This leads to many revisions. And when I am sure things are working, I commit the changes to GIT. And GitHub. When I realize I have gone…

Is there a way to disable the notifications about onboarding to a Dropbox team?
At the bottom left of the Dropbox web UI there is a notification urging me to "Get started with Dropbox" by doing various things. I also received an email message from Dropbox saying "You have pending action items", which I assume will recur as long as that's the case. I do not want to do those things. Not because I am…

"Waiting for Server" delay on shared links for 30+ seconds
I'm a sysadmin and some of our users utilize dropbox. dl.dropbox.com for sharing files. dl.dropbox.com will eventually serve a file, but on any attempt, it could take 30 seconds or longer. Sometimes, it will just time out before dropbox serves the file. I have tested this on another network with the same result. Notice…

Improve shared folder web view by un-truncating the file names
When I share a folder with someone outside my company by sending them a link the column that displays the file name is really narrow. File names are truncated, forcing the user to hover over each file to read the full name until they find the one they want. (And causing us to use absurdly short file name to avoid the…

Shorten url
Hello Dropbox Team, When we generate a link in Dropbox, it is usually very long. I would appreciate it if you could provide an option to shorten the link or allow users to customize it by choosing their own preferred words instead of the default long URL. Currently, there are external websites that offer this feature, but…

2-page / Book view for PDF's
It would really be great to be able to view PDF's in "Two page view" like on Acrobat. It makes it much easier for clients to review documents intended to be read/viewed in spread format WHILE KEEPING THE ACCURATE PAGE NUMBERS. Yes, as a designer, I can export a document in spread view, but then the page numbers will be off…

How to see the size of each folder online, and see what's taking up space?
Is there a way to see a breakdown of storage usage by folder on Dropbox.com? I have a 2TB plan and am using just over 1TB, but I have no easy way to identify what's consuming the most space. I'm looking for something equivalent to DaisyDisk or Finder's Get Info — ideally a view that shows folder sizes across my entire…

Can I see how many people have downloaded my Dropbox files via link?
I put some big genealogy files on a paid Dropbox account and I posted links to the folders, on my website. I did it this way so people downloading the big files would not bog down the website server. Now, is there a way to see how many users have downloaded the genealogy files from my Dropbox account?

Include previous comments in comparison mode on Replay
G'day, I'm new to replay, so perhaps I just don't know how to do this, but I think having all the comments from a previous version pop up / be visible as you compare it to the new version you have just uploaded would be very useful so that you can check the changes (even though sync might be out due to changes)

Google Sign-In and email aliases

Stacks pop-up when adding a new link
When adding a link outside of the network dropbox, such as a client website or a SharePoint page, it would be great if a renaming window could pop up immediately. As it is, the page just gets named 'SharePoint" which is likely always too general. Thank you, this would help me a lot, as our internal intranet is in…

Some online-only files have 0 bytes and no content on the desktop app and website.
I recently discovered that many, if not most, files in one particular folder are showing a file size of zero bytes, and opening them shows no content. It seems quite random as to which files are affected. The date created seems to make no difference. Hundreds of files are affected. It makes no difference whether I access…

Timecode offset
When working on longform projects (feature films) it's pretty common to upload scenes/sections that have embedded timecode. Currently every dropbox replay comment starts at 0:00.000. It'd be very helpful (especially for comment export) to have a timecode offset for each uploaded file. So if I'm uploading a section of a…

Allow PDFs to be viewed as full page, without scrolling
When I share design portfolio PDFs with prospective clients, the viewing experience is very poor: they have to continuous-scroll through the document, rather than experience full pages, one at a time. The visual effect is spoiled, and the presentations loose their clarity and flow. This especially impacts comparative or…

Getting an error when moving folders and files into the Family Room folder
I've long had a 2T individual plan for organizing family info. But I am not able to share access to any of the files with my wife, since she has an unpaid plan (I assume). When she logs into her account she never sees anything I have shared. So I now upgraded to a Family plan, and she is now a member. When I go to move any…

Most of my Paper documents are missing their tags
I have 128 Paper documents and all of them were tagged for organization (I think Dropbox Paper calls this "sections"). If I go to Dropbox, and go into into the "Paper Docs" folder, I can see them all as paper files. If I go to the Dropbox Paper home page, I can see all my tags (all 36 of them) but only 8 of them have any…
