Hi @"yeyi", thanks for bringing this to our attention. It looks like you have Dropbox Backup enabled. Could you try disabling it from within the Dropbox desktop application in the Backups tab? Keep me updated with any progress!

Hi @"Moe wong", currently, it isn't possible to manage or disable the email notifications for file requests. If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future! 

Hi @"Tash86", do you see the files being created in the events page or anything related to that folder?

Hi @"djb21au", from what you're describing, it sounds like it's affecting only Safari. So it has to be a recent change in that browser, or a setting which is preventing it from working properly.

Hi @"eapen", that's the correct method on how to restrict access to folders. Separate groups with differing privileges allows you to assign those groups to specific folders to whatever they need to see. The 'Everyone at' group could still be used for 'generic information; folders, like company rules, safety protocols, and…

Hi @"wpals03296", have you clicked the blue button to see why it isn't working? What webpage does it link you to?

Hi @"Oystenen", thanks for messaging the Community! Currently, the Dropbox Backup system and the normal Dropbox site are completely separate. This means that it isn't possible to move or copy files to or from either service. You won't be able to copy the backup into your normal Dropbox account on the site. If you have any…

Hi @"Cam C.", thanks for bringing this to our attention. This could be an issue in relation to absolute and relative links to documents. The template might be referenced via an absolute link (meaning, it includes the username), instead of a relative link. This thread might help out with more information. Although it's…

Hi @"rarthurr", thanks for messaging the Community! You can export files from your Dropbox account to another app on your device by following these steps. Currently, it isn't possible to export multiple files at the same time. If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Hi @"Pardhivan", do you still have email to that inbox? Could you try adding no-reply@dropbox.com to your contacts list and try again?

Hi @"fingolfin78", I've created a ticket for you, please could you reply to it when you get a chance!

Okay, so you're referring to the Dropbox desktop application. Are you able to click the Dropbox icon in the system tray/menu bar near the clock?

Hi @"moksahero", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you clarify where this link is being generated from? Are you not able to install the Dropbox desktop application directly from the site? This will help me to assist further!

Were you trying to email me the image? Are you not able to attach the image in your reply, or copy and paste it there? The Dropbox (old) folder would belong to a different Dropbox account than the one linked in the Dropbox desktop application.

Glad to have helped out. Enjoy the remainder of your week!

Hi @"Philip_naz", thanks for bringing this to our attention. If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try again uninstalling the app, rebooting the device, and re-installing it to see if this helps? What version of the Dropbox mobile app is installed on your device? This will help…

Hi @"DukeOfURL", in general, only the Camera roll and Screenshots folders should be backed up when using the automated camera upload feature. If other albums or folders are backed up, it might be to with how they're stored on your device. Currently, it isn't possible to add other folders to be backed up, nor to have the…

Could you clarify what password you're being asked for? A screenshot showing this window or prompt would be helpful.

If this is the case, then it is no longer possible to recover the account from the team. The email address used for your account should be free now to create a new, empty, Dropbox account. However, the files should still exist on the Dropbox Business team, and the admin can transfer the files to another team member, or…

Hi @"imTatsu", thanks for bringing this to our attention. When you join and merge your account with a Dropbox Business team, at that point, the team admin technically owns your account and all files on it, as it is no longer a personal account. If it has been less than 7 days since the deletion, you can ask the to…

The File Provider API is more than just marking files as available offline or online-only. There are a lot of backend changes which affect how cloud services interact with Mac OS. Some of the changes were listed in my original article I posted. Bear in mind that the Dropbox desktop application does update itself…

Hi @"Marlene1100", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Are you trying to view the preferences on the Dropbox site, or in the Dropbox desktop application? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"dislokated", thanks for messaging the Community! This was the behavior of the old Dropbox Backup feature. After an update to the feature, the backups are now only visible on the Dropbox site. It isn't possible to revert this change. If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Does your device meet the minimum requirements for the Dropbox desktop application according to this page?

Thanks, I've sent you an email, please could you reply to it as soon as possible!

Hi @"ztoa", thanks for bringing this to our attention. If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link? Keep me updated with any progress!

Hi @"g v.", thanks for messaging the Community. On the new Mac OS, it wouldn't be possible to prevent the update to the CloudStorage, since it is a requirement for the new File Provider. If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Thanks for the info, in order to look into this matter in more detail, would it be possible to reach out to the email associated with your forum profile?

The previous article described the icons you would see in Finder. * The green sync icon means the file is available offline * No icon means it's 'available'. This means you doubleclicked it to open, and it's stored on your computer. However, if you're low on hard drive space, the Mac OS will delete the local copy to free…
