To confirm this is to view from within the browser itself, as in a preview and not downloading and opening it from the local Dropbox folder which then opens in Safari?

Have you tried following https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/team-locked-state ? I believe the Team Admin may need to do that, however. Another option is to see if you can leave the team yourself.

Only work around I can think of is to send them it before it goes on Sign. Its also something to suggest as a feature: Ideas | The Dropbox Community

You need to get your organisation to send you an invite to their account - thus using up a paid licence. That will convert your account to a paid one and all should work fine :)

Go to the page that Jay, and me, linked to (https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan) and tell us what it says, or better yet post a screenshot.

Is the folder in the basic one? If so create a shared folder between the two accounts if it will let you. You may find if you are over quota you are limited to only downloading the files locally and reuploading them to the other account.

Conflicts occur when you have two different versions of the same file edited before the changes have sync'd. So, I'm not sure how KeyPass works, but, when you edit on your phone do you automatically save the changes to Dropbox? What I'm wondering is, could the Mac be changing the file at all by editing its last modified…

This uses quota of their account regardless of if they download it or work on it in the cloud. So, if they need edit access their quota size needs to be able to access…

DropBox_why wrote:Why do I have to purchase more space if I receive a link from another user and i have no more space in my account? Because shared folders use up the quota of everybody in it. If you dont need write access you can ask for a shared link instead which gives you read-only access via the web. Or, ask the to…

Jack D-77 wrote:is it correct that part of my issue is related to having dropbox on an external hard drive? Quite possibly - Dropbox isnt really intended to be on an external drive so it may be slower than internal. However, I suspect the bigger issue is the number of files you have.

Dont use the user agent actually use a different browser (Chrome for example). 

Can you try clearing cache and cookies? What version of Safari is it? Oh and does it work on another browser out of interest?

Does right clicking on it work?

Fab, that makes sense. So, personally what I'd do to tidy this all up a bit is move everything to a new directory maybe on your desktop (so create a new folder, something like 'Dropbox temp'). Put all of the files/folders you want from both account into this new folder. Log out of Dropbox on your machine and then delete…

Yes :) The Offline Sync is machine specific so you can work it however you want across whatever devices you want. Another option could be to look at Selective Sync (again machine specific) to totally remove directories you dont need on certain devices - so I do that with Music on laptop as it syncs to my phone from…

How exactly do you log on and work this @"Ruud-J" ? As it isnt possible to have two installs of Dropbox running and working at the same time the way you are working this is going to be important. 

Offline files would move them to cloud only and download as and when you need access to them. So, as an example, I have about 750gb on my Dropbox but its only using about 60gb of HDD space

From experience as they get so many applications they are usually very strict on the rules and do not give or allow alterations to the policy or rules set down - which they have to do to keep it fair for everybody. Literally thousands of people apply for these posts. If you are graduating in the right time scale in the…

If its not letting you I dont think it will work. Dropbox isnt designed to work on external drives due to the huge, and real, risk of data loss. For example if the drive disconnects, or connects after Dropbox launches it can cause it to be seen as a mass deletion. There are safeguards in place for this, but, they dont…

Sounds like Dropbox has done an update to the software and is just setting things back up - possibly moving to the new Cloud location structure. Yes these are legitimate messages so just approve :)

Have you done an Advanced Reinstall?
