Is it a Teams folder instead? I found that sometimes they are locked

Welcome @"DaveLyons" ! I have a similaar sort of set up but as you cannot differentiate on uploaded files (although it does ask email when people upload....!) what I've done is have a folder with the dead original title of 'File Requests' and inside there a structure of lots of subfolders, each relating to a Project or…

I believe this is expected behaviour as it has been deprecated: Dropbox Integration with Zoom deprecated. | The Dropbox Community 

Just to add to this and make clear, if you delete the files off your account they WILL also delete for everybody else. You need to unshare whole folders first to avoid this from happening. It isnt possible to unshare subdirectories only.

Dropbox is just a folder on your device like any other so uses up space and quota. Once the files have uploaded then you can remove them locally via Online Only…

hannaheagle wrote:Can you please fix my account so my storage and access are restored? There isnt anything to fix at Dropbox side. If your account at http://www.dropbox.com/account/plan shows you over quota you need to delete files to get you under quota. For the share make sure you have left it at…

Hi @"Archiblog" I actually think the issue they've referred to relates to the number of files you can store rather than the size of the files. The soft limit on files is usually around 300,000 irrespective of the size of them: https://help.dropbox.com/storage-space/file-storage-limit

The fact that the…

Thats helpful @"Walter" - probably worth updating the help articles to state that.

Uriel1 wrote:So, maybe the solution is not to logged in at the same time? You can try it, but, I'm not sure it would work - it certainly wont both at the same time. The issue is that Dropbox creates hidden temp files, which are its database. If you log on to a different account the database could become corrupt and it…

Uriel1 wrote:I have 2 users, logged in simoultanesy, on the same PC. Both are syncing D drive. Are they linked to the same Dropbox folder? If so thats your issue, Dropbox cannot work like that. Only 1 account can sync a folder at a time. 

cdub74 wrote:Can anyone that has this plan let me know if there is a device limit and if so what the limit is? My guess here is that there is no limit, as the document talking about limits states that it's only Basic, which is restricted. 

How are you uploading? That can vary what happens.

Iselin1 wrote:Could they have been deleted by dropbox Yes they will have. Dropbox deletes the data on accounts after 12 months of inactivity. You get multiple email warnings this is going to occur before they do it. Iselin1 wrote:and is there any way to recover them? No, not via Dropbox, I'm afraid. Once data is removed…

Pegasus57 wrote:why should changing my phone (retaining the same number and with the same account details) result in this new situation? If you clicked on 'Sign Up' instead of 'Log in' that is what would happen. You cannot create a new account with the same details, so, the one you are using now will be a separate account.…

claybot wrote:is this why being a UK / Singapore Dropbox subscriber Probably - I'm also in the UK and cannot access it. Its also worth noting that as @"Amy" said its not available to all - currently only Business users. 

Solow wrote:do I have any possibility to recover my files? If they didnt permanently delete them, yes. You can recover via this article. If they did permanently delete them I'm afraid they are not recoverable, at all. Upgrading wont do anything. 

Dropbox cannot delete things on its own; it can only replicate what it's told to do - so something has told Dropbox to delete files. How did you move the directories around? Were the files sync'd to the computer, even as offline ones?

Southby wrote:Is this possible with Dropbox currently? Simply put, no. Dropbox only sync's what is inside of its own directory - it wont sync files elsewhere. So the only way to do this would be to move the files inside of the Dropbox directory and work on them in there.

Do you see the updated file if you go to http://www.dropbox.com/home ?

What is puzzling is that as I have stored nothing in it the space is almost all used up Are you sure you arent part of a Team folder?
