Can you please try installing Microsoft unified Office App https://aka.ms/OfficeAppiOS? Note that now Microsoft has a unified office app (along with individual Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote apps), which can be used to view/edit all supported office files. Then reinstall the Dropbox app as well.

Do you mean permanent token for your own account? In that case you can create one at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create More details: https://dropbox.tech/developers/generate-an-access-token-for-your-own-account 

Hello there @"LRBH", Can you please try reinstalling Dropbox app and install Microsoft unified Office App https://aka.ms/OfficeAppiOS? Note that now Microsoft has a unified office app (along with individual Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote apps), which can be used to view/edit all supported office files.

Hello @"Mariano A.3", you can find the offline installers here https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/bd-p/101003016 Beta builds are identified by ******.3.yyyy (while stable builds are ******.4.yyyy). For beta builds, there are Apple Silicon version.

Hi @"eryxie", are you using the latest version of Dropbox app? I can save .mp4 files by clicking the Share menu → Export file → Save video. 

Hello @"BillSittig", Dropbox currently does not have the feature you are looking for. However, you may look into various URL shorter services e.g., https://bitly.com which allows you to shorten/customise your random looking URL to something like https://bit.ly/xx-business for free (you need to sign up for bitly, and…

Hello there @"Srgreenwood ", the email from Dropbox should be addressing your name. By any chance, you entered your password as your name? If you login to https://www.dropbox.com/account/general is your name correctly set?

Hi @"Law429", You should be able to transfer your files from one computer to another offline. Few things to remember: * If you have enabled the Dropbox backup feature (which syncs your Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc. alongside your Dropbox folder), those folders won't link to your new computer. New computer will have…

Hi @"sharknado", you can find your storage usage on the https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan page.

Business/team accounts are centralised Dropbox accounts (meant for businesses) where the team admin can manage others' accounts including creating and deleting accounts. Is your Dropbox account part of any such Dropbox team or is it a personal account (you signed up and created a personal account for yourself)?

@"j7GUvseRjB" Looks like, once you select files.metadata.write you already have both read and write metadata permissions. If you select files.metadata.write, you already have files.metadata.read.

@"Minaz" Yes, it should open the Dropbox app window on single click. What happens when you hold the control-key and click the icon?

The rule inside Dropbox folder is: you cannot put a shared folder inside another shared folder. However, you can organise multiple shared folders inside a non-shared folder (you can move/drag-and-drop shared folders inside a non-shared folder). Once you create a shared folder, dropbox treats it as a top-level folder. The…

@"Minaz" Did you single (right or left) click the taskbar icon? In my case, only double click opens explorer window.

You can change the Dropbox sync location from the settings: click the Dropbox icon in the taskbar → click the profile icon → select Preferences. Go to the sync tab and Move your Dropbox folder to new location.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood your issue. Are you talking about the maintaining Dropbox shared folder permissions (I thought operating system read-write-execute permissions for user, group, and others)? In case of Dropbox shared folder permissions, if you copy and paste the folders, I think it won't maintain the…

Hello @"biglickProfile", which operating system are you using? If you are on Windows (or macOS), and copying to non-NTFS formatted (or non APFS, HFS formatted in case of macOS) drive, you might lose some attributes. If you are on linux and you can try using cp with -p flag to preserve permissions or use rsync with -a flag.

Hello @"Johnnykick", from the sync icon next to your excel file, it could be that the file is not fully dowloaded. Can you please first right click, from smart sync menu make it local before opening? What happens to other excel files which has solid green sync icon?

HI @"Levi11", the size limitation only applied to folders (there are some technical reason: when you download a folder the server needs to compress the files into a single ZIP folder, and Dropbox sets some limits). However, there is no limit on downloading a file. If you compress (make ZIP) of your 120GB data, upload and…

I suppose for performance reason. Not everyone need to know file/folder sizes, at least not all the time. If it is enabled by default for everyone and every item, it might increase significant load on servers.

You can select the size column. It will show the file sizes. In case of folders, click the (...) and select Calculate size. More details: https://help.dropbox.com/storage-space/file-size Mod note: edited to include helpful information from @"mkm" It is actually possible to calculate all folder sizes! You need to "Calculate…

Hello @"Michał", the passwords are encrypted and stored in Dropbox servers. Dropbox says the encryption is zero-knowledge, meaning only you can decrypt them. 

I am afraid, if the files were deleted when you were on basic/free plan, the deleted files would stay for 30 days. Upgrading to a paid plan later won't affect the length of history retaintion for the files that were previously deleted.

Open the file in Dropbox app > tap the (...) for options > choose export > there you should see Books app (or be able to set from More).

You can try zipping the folder before uploading and then share the link of the zip file. When we download a folder, the dropbox server needs to do the zipping, I think there is no static link available to that zip file.

For me the following are working: wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/ew2jket9lisdf4oor/example.zip wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/d34o4xoo7c6bnfh3r/example.pptx Notice that I removed the `?dl=1` part from the shared link, otherwise the filenames are appened with that. 

Hello there, Dropbox is not designed to host websites. As far as I know, there is no way you can set a domain name with Dropbox currently. For your purpose (simple static website with domain name), I think Github pages (https://pages.github.com) or Netlify (https://www.netlify.com) would be great. Their free plans are…

It could be a notification. Click the Dropobx icon > Go to Notifications tab > Mark it as read. 

Hello @"Cristian Adrian", The Version history is only available on individual files. If you are a paid member, you can use Rewind to revert a folder https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/restore-delete/rewind But even in that case, I am afraid that Dropbox cannot bring back a folder from 2016 or 2017 unless you have…
