Hi, I have uploaded several videos to a Dropbox folder, but when I try to view on a computer (Mac, Safari (v.26) Mac OS - Tahoe 26 -- recently updated), I get the image below with a "spinning" box. Never had this problem before, and I can download the video back to the computer and it plays fine. I can also view the videos…
File names are cut off on the Dropbox site
How is it possible for an app this old to still not allow a user to alter the field length? 20 odd characters is grossly insufficient for anyone with real organisation habits. Why can I not simply see longer file names? Why? What is the justification for this? Take myself, a 3d modeller. I constantly have files that are…

Searching only for specific file types using web interface
I would like to be able to search for specific file types of any kind I like-- not just the subset of types offered in the "Type" dropdown menu. For instance, I want to find only *.des files- nothing else returned. Searching for "*.des" returns a few files with that extension but a lot of files that do not have that…

Can I remove the "your activity" files?
It seem impossible to imagine but apparently Dropbox has decided that recent activity/files in recent activity are now permanently viewable until replaced by more recent activity. Really? I hope I'm wrong. Dropbox started out as uniquely user friendly and easy to use. I've watched that disappear over the years. It's…

Recipients confused by the login prompt when downloading files from Transfer or shared link
When sharing files via Dropbox Transfer or a "view-only" link, the "Continue with download only" button is hidden at the bottom.

Remove Login/SignUp dialog from download flow when sharing link to files
More often than not, when I share a link with a client who is not a Dropbox user, they respond to me, asking if I can please share the file with them using a method other than Dropbox because they do not want to sign up for an account. I will then have to send them detailed instructions on how to download the file, because…
