As per messages already posted there are no refunds I'm afraid. You needed to have done that before the upgrade when you received the emails. Make sure you stop future ones at www.dropbox.com/plans

*moves to API forum*

Speak to the developers of the App. After all it is them who will be able to tell you how to use it.

And that it used to be a common thing for them to release a list of changes with every new release? So what changed?

Yes. I'm saying Dropbox is not a good backup solution. In fact I'm saying its a bloody awful one. Because it is NOT a backup solution. A backup solution would never, ever, delete your data (this one does after 30 days/longer if paid), it would also never need human input to recover data which included more than 1 or 2…

That just states they use Dropbox Business as a tool, not backup. However, I will reiterate what Rich said. Dropbox isnt designed, nor intended, to be a backup tool. Its a function it does really badly. Yes you can get data back within 30 days (or longer if you've paid for the add ons), but, human intervention is needed…

You know what would be really nice? If this page said that you'd managed to fix a bug thats been around for ages - the blank sign on screen (or at least believe you have). Come on guys, take some praise for your work rather than just deciding its time for another version change!

The question is though does this actually fix any of the bugs in 27.4.22 or did you just get bored typing 27?

Not unless you are a Business user with SmartSync.

I actually cant get to that page at all. You used to just click on the link 'Follow Dropbox to get more space' and it would open up a new window to do it. Is that not happening? Same with the Facebook one. Note that there used to be ways of linking via www.dropbox.com/account, however, they've been removed.

It actually looks like those options have been removed. Which link are you using?

I'd suggest turning off the internet connection on your laptop before looking on it just to see if its there and avoid conflicted copies. You can then move the file outside of Dropbox before it syncs and add it back later. And if its not sync'd since then check Dropbox is running (does it show on the status bar?)

You cant do it from the website because you'd then be dragging and dropping the preview. If you've got Dropbox installed on your machine you can drag/drop from the Dropbox folder, however, and that would work fine.

When you were travelling did you check Dropbox was connected and that it was syncing? i.e. it went back to the plain black box after each sync - remember as well files USUALLY cannot sync while they are open so they need to be closed *and then* time given for them to sync. Have a look at www.dropbox.com/events as well to…

We need way more info here - like Android OS version and Dropbox version as a minimum.

Ah, if you'd said you were using the API I'd have moved you to the API section of the forums - your current post is in the general area! Hopefully one of the team will have some ideas from there :)

You would need to manually move the files yourself - there isnt an automated way to do it. You can either move them online using the web interface, or, your computer if you've installed Dropbox.

Not sure what you are actually trying to do, however, no, I'm afraid not. It isnt possible to specify which server dates/times a file relate to. www.dropbox.com/events, however, will show when things were uploaded/deleted etc.

You could try going to www.dropbox.com/home and using the search bar in the top right? Note that once you've found them you will need to rename them yourself, there isnt a tool to do that for you.

It should work exactly like that Olivier, what error are they getting?

Got to be honest I've never seen it reported here I'm afraid. Certainly not with a 24 hour 'cut off' period. May I suggest logging a ticket with support for them to look at and possibly include some links from others having issues. You'll need to be more specific though (OS/Dropbox version etc. as a minimum)…

Made sure you are using the newest version from www.dropbox.com/downloading ?

As its a work device has your employer got any rules/permissions set up on the device that would stop unauthorised pieces of software being installed?

They wont launch a product like what you said above for that price simply because a lot of the costs they have are not the storage its the support of the users and the connections to and from the servers (paid per time). Also, if they did that all of the $750pa users on Business would simply downgrade.

If they are downloaded to your computer in the Dropbox folder then just move them like you would any other file/folder as thats exactly what they are. If they are online you'll need to go to www.dropbox.com/home first and select the ones you want to download and then download them to the flash drive. If you select multiple…

@"Jane" - it doesnt mention expired password, it says inactive account (i.e. its been removed as not used for over a year).

Actually Mike in my opinion I think its more to do with the fact they are totally moving away from photos and anything to do with them (e.g. removal of albums etc.) However, yes, I agree that the security thing is a big issue - Dropbox have always been exceptionally strict on one user = one account which isnt really that…

Nothing has changed and Dropbox also do not release roadmaps I'm afraid as @"Rich" said last week.

If Dropbox is installed on your computer open the Dropbox folder (as its a folder like any other) and copy and paste it like any other file. If its not installed and you are using the website you cannot copy and paste, you'll need to select the file and tap download. Then save that file to your desktop

Does this build even attempt to fix or address any of the issues brought up on the 26.4.x series or is it just a number change for number change sake?!
