Hi @"12Louise", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Did you upgrade to a trial from the Dropbox site directly, or via the mobile app? According to this page, does it show a currency for the trial? This will help me to assist further!

The shared link should have an rlkey on them, and you'll need to change the dl=0 to raw=1 in order for images to be previewable. 

Do you have any other programs or services that are currently running which could be trying to access these folders? Could you try quitting all open apps from the menu bar and dock, including Dropbox, and then just start up the Dropbox app to see if the files sync.

Hi @"benjaminjess", there haven't been any new updates which could help in relation to this matter, nor are there any workarounds that we can offer. 

Hi @"upixinc", thanks for messaging the Community. Are you aware that there is a daily bandwidth limit, which if breached would result in your links being temporarily banned? Just for clarification, you don't want the entire folder of images to be public, but you want each image to have a separate shared link, is that…

Hi @"maxwurr", could you check that the Dropbox system extension is enabled here? Additionally, in your last screenshot, could you try clicking 'Show more options' to see if other Dropbox options appear?

Thanks, I've merged your post to this thread. Please could you try the suggested solution and let me know how it goes?

Hi @"Enric48", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application, without uninstalling it first, by using this link? Keep me updated with any progress!

Here is how you can view your Finder extensions. Could you also try temporarily quitting the Google Drive app to see if this brings back the Dropbox icons?

Could you try checking if the Dropbox extension is enabled in your Finder settings, in order to show the sync icons? Do you have any other cloud providers running on your machine at the same time?

Yes, please switch to the 'liste' option on that image you posted, and let me know if you can see any sync icons. A screenshot showing that would help too.

Hi @"jamesalm", thanks for messaging the Community! Currently, it isn't possible to use a different folder for email attachments, nor is it possible to have different email addresses for the Email to Dropbox feature. If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Thanks for the image, could you try changing the Finder view to see if the list view shows the sync icons?

Hi @"ProfCJJ", could you test to see if syncing has stopped entirely by creating a test file and adding it into your Dropbox folder, as well as uploading a differently named file to the site directly, and let me know if both files synced?

Hi @"lament", since you wiped and reinstalled the OS, this is considered a different device, so any backups made on the 'old' device will no longer work. You'll need to backup the external drive from scratch, and delete the old backup, since you're currently out of quota, to free up space. Currently, it isn't possible to…

This page contains different articles on how to create apps in general using the API.

Hi @"thomasweil", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Is the Dropbox desktop application currently running and syncing normally? What OS version are you running? Could you attach a screenshot showing the desktop app open on your device? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"Cesare Corrado", thanks for messaging the Community. Currently, this wouldn't be possible without a local folder to sync files from. You might be able to create an app using the Dropbox API to achieve what you're looking for. If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Hi @"JSheppard42", I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're referring to. Are these shared folders you're seeing, of a shared link on the site? Do you access those other folders using different account credentials? Please clarify exactly how you're accessing both sets of files to assist further.

That's correct, when you add photos to a folder that already has a shared link, the link itself will show these new images. 

A shared link is the best method for them, since it doesn't require them to have a Dropbox account with any quota available. In answer to your original questions, if you add a file to that folder, the link to the folder automatically shows whatever is currently in that folder. Users won't get notified, since they're not a…

Hi @"Josephus F.", just for clarification, are you asking to pay in local currency, or are you asking for a local number in order to receive faxes? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"Tania" Photography, thanks for messaging the Community! How are you sending the photos to users, are you using a shared link to a folder, or a shared folder which is added to their Dropbox account? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"WildGingerSGP", thanks for bringing this to our attention. You can disable the computer backup feature by following these steps. Keep me updated with any progress!

It does sound like there is something on your network or browser which is affecting the connection to the Dropbox site, which is why I recommended trying a different network entirely. Could you try disabling all browser extensions and try again? Do you have the mobile app installed on a phone or tablet? Are you able to…

Hi @"James V.1", thanks for bringing this to our attention. The files in your Dropbox account should be in that CloudStorage folder, so I'm not certain what this other folder is. Does it contain any sync icons in it? This will help me to assist further!

No worries, glad to have helped out!

Hi @"Christian E.9", you need to click on the ellipsis to the right of the folder to get that option to calculate the size, like in the below image.

Thanks, keep me posted with any updates!

Hi @"TOBES33", thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've moved your post into a new thread as it was unrelated to the previous discussion. Are these files in random locations in your Dropbox folder, or are they all in one specific location? Is this a private or shared folder? This will help me to assist further!
