I can't figure out why the developers of dropbox have to over-complicate simple things like "selecting all files". I finally found directions how to do it and it's just plain stupid and doesn't always work. "Selecting multiple "Selecting multiple files Click on the file row to the right of the file's name to select it.…

I recently had all my files in a shared folder deleted. I was able to go in and restore them all, but in the process found one suspicious file, which I did not restore which was "cfl.dropboxstatic.com.url". Does anyone know what that might be? Next to all my deleted files was "Dale". One of my users is Dale, but he says it…

Hello, I use to be able to download my folders by right clicking and choosing the download option or choosing the download file option when the folder is open. I no longer am given the option to download. The only options I am getting is to share, open, delete, rename, etc. I prefer to download the folders and not copy or…

I am using dropbox desktop to upload a bunch of files for clients. Each client has a folder created for them, and in that folder are files that are up to roughly 10gb in size. The client and I are not sharing back and forth, all they need to do is download the files in that folder once. I would assume that most of my…

I log in with email and password. My files load. I can click on them and view them, etc. But when I click "Download," I get an error message saying: "Error 403 - it appears you don't belong here ..." and it directs me to "sign in" or go to the 'help center" or the "home page." But I'm already signed in, I go to help…

When my friend used my invitation link to sign up for Dropbox, the website keeps showing "Please enter a CAPTCHA response" but there was no CAPTCHA test to respond to. This issue did not show up when she tried to sign up directly (no through the invitation link), so I lost the 500 MB space I should have earned. Please help…

I'm trying to insert a Google Map. When I click 'show example', I see a google map and then a line with the link I entered. However, when I paste a google map link of my own, I get just the link. It looks like Paper is having problems parsing the link, which in my test case was this:…

I shared a link to one of my folders with my family. They use a browser to open the link and view the folder of pictures. They do not have dropbox. Now, they want to select and download multiple files, but that doesn't seem possible? Clicking on a file name or even the white space next to it actully open the picture to…

I created a "Flip Book" using the Flip PDF software application. The created Flip Book is an .exe file. I would like for my friends to see the Flip Book but have been unable to find a host site that will do so. I thought Dropbox would be my answer but found out today Dropbox does not support an .exe file. Any suggestions…

For a couple of months now we have been sharing sub folders with non-Dropbox users who have had the ability to upload files without issue. For some reason, this has now changed and the presence of the upload button has now dissappeared from their view. Instead they only have the ability to Sign In or 'Direct Download' or…

I have a few videos on my Dropbox and now they won't play. They just show that wheel that seems to imply something is "loading," but the videos never play in the end. Is this an issue with my computer? Or Dropbox?

I've just seen the banner that says "The Photos page is changing on 30 June 2017 but your pictures will stay safe in your Dropbox account. Learn more". The gist is that they are removing the final remants of the Carousel functionality - which makes me wonder what the point was in purchasing it in the first place: "After…

Suddenly, the "download" option has disappeared from the page and drop-down menus. I can do anything else to my files, but there is no longer an option to download. Any thoughts?

Surely it is possible to cancel an upload in process. Why can't you tell me how to do that?>?>?

I've been sharing videos by using the 'copy dropbox link' option with no problem ever. The past 2 times though there's been a line through the play button on the link. When I click it it says 'this file can't be previewed'. This also happens if I right click on file in dropbox and select 'view on dropbox.com'. The file…

And I realize that I can't see any of my own files in my own folders if i try yo see this by the dropbox web site!!!

I am currently using an app to record lectures and then I upload them to my drop box. This is the second semester I've done this so I know it works. This evening when I was trying to upload the recordings I kept getting Dropbox.com error 400. What does this mean? I've tried two different recordings and neither are…

Hi: I used to be able to view pdf files in Chrome's native pdf viewer. Suddenly, I am no longer able to view files through Chrome's viewer, but only through what looks to be some new dropbox proprietary viewer. I'd like to be able to go back to the Chrome viewer, as the dropbox viewer has cut pdf functionality…

I am on Dropbox web on Firefox, Windows 7. Absolutely all the files I have downloaded individually from Dropbox with the direct download link are corrupt!

Hi I don't see Add a folder anymore. Also I can't add the photo of the screen grab. There's no way to connect the source in the Add Photo link.
