Could you try fixing the permissions and hard links by following these steps?

By downloading it, do you mean manually changing it from online to available offline by right clicking the file and choosing the option, or by doubleclicking the file?

Hi @"syibimian". are the files marked as available offline in Finder?

Hi @"meredith616", you can recreate a support ticket using the steps in my previous post to contact the team again.

You mentioned emails in 2019, when was the last time you logged into your account prior to signing into the new phone?

You could try contacting the team to see if there is any additional assistance they can provide.

Yes, you can sign out of the Gmail account in the Dropbox desktop application, and the Dropbox site, after first downloading all the files in it onto your machine. If you wish, you can even delete the account entirely from the site, which will permanently delete the data on that account. If you do choose to do that, just…

Hi @"bmt10", are you able to access your Vault from the main window, and not from the left sidebar?

Hi @"Mickey M.1", I've merged your post into this thread. Could you try these steps to see if they help with the installation of the app?

Hi @"luriet", you can share a view-only shared folder to the user, and the files will download to their machine (if installed), and they won't be able to edit files. They'll have to copy them to another folder on their machine to make any changes to them. Bear in mind, however, that if they don't have a Dropbox account,…

Hi @"kalebseaton", given the location that appeared for the Dropbox folder, it should be in your home folder. Have you tried searching there in order to delete the Dropbox folder entirely?

Hi @"Epifeny", currently, it wouldn't be possible to do as you're asking via the Dropbox service, as those tags are only for Mac devices.

Hi @"maxjam", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you try checking the events page or the deleted files page to see if you can find and recover the Paper doc? Keep me updated with any progress!

There is no such thing as a 'Basic membership'. Basic accounts are for personal use only, and can't be directly accessed by other users, as it would breach the terms of service. If you're instead referring to shared folders, then each user must have their own Dropbox account to share files, meaning they have separate…

Hi @"PeterHam", thanks for posting today! If you want to keep a shared link active, the best method is to upload the updated file directly onto the Dropbox site, in the same location and filename as the previous file. If you have the Dropbox desktop application running, and the file is in the Dropbox folder, generally,…

Hi @"johnny18420", thanks for bringing this to our attention. If a referral is ineligible, it means that they either already have an account, or they're trying to activate the referral on the same machine or network as the one you're on. If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Hi @"stwtorpedo", thanks for bringing this to our attention. When you say you were all members of a Basic plan, do you mean you all had separate Basic plans under different emails, or did you share the account credentials for one account? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"nv89", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Before we continue further, do you see any confirmed payments (with an invoice and receipt) on this page on your account? If so, when was the last confirmed payment? This will help me to assist further!

It isn't possible for two separate Dropbox accounts to have the same email. Either one of them has a minor typo in it, or the email was changed but not reflected on the machine. When you click the Dropbox icon in the system tray on the Windows machine, what message is written on the bottom left?

On the Windows machine, when you click the Dropbox desktop application icon in the system tray, are you able to see the account email from within the preferences?

That's correct, you can create a test folder when using the new settings to see how it works from their end.

Hi @"SubSolar", if the top-level management setting is set to only admins, provided that you've granted edit access to the team folders, then members can create subfolders.

Hi @"singer516", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Do you have the camera upload feature enabled on your mobile or desktop device? Can you see on the events page where the images are being uploaded from? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"jahosha", thanks for the info. If the system doesn't meet the minimum requirements, we wouldn't be able to support the device. In this case, both the OS and the desktop environment don't meet the required specifications for the Linux app.

If you're on a paid plan and have signed into your account, you should be able to contact the team via email. Are you not seeing that option?

Hi @"rmundell", thanks for the info. I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to assist further on this matter.

Hi @"Delegado Cero", thanks for messaging the Community! Long story short, it won't be possible to do what you're asking with the Dropbox service. Any kind of alias or shortcut wouldn't translate to those folders being backed up on the site, or to another device. The Dropbox Backup feature is a one-way backup to the site…

Hi @"albo99", my colleague was referring to the Dropbox desktop application, which you mentioned you had installed. This allows files to sync down into your local Dropbox folder. Does the file not preview after it was synced to your machine?

My earlier post here contained the necessary article on how to convert accounts.

Provided they follow the exact steps to convert your account to a personal account, and not just delete your account entirely, then your data will remain intact on your account.
