Dropbox doesnt offer this as a feature I'm afraid. 

I'm afraid you need to share individually :(

Shared folders? Otherwise I'm clutching at straws I'm afraid 

They weren't 'special' folders like Camera Uploads or Public were they? 

Please do not hijack treads Marie. Find an relevant one or start your own. 

It isnt Dropbox thats done that Tommy. As Rich said, Dropbox does not send files via Text. I suggest going back to your friend and asking for the other two files to be resent to you. 

Yes. As per emails HTML stopped being rendered/displayed on the 1st of October. After that they would download only for free users. Paying users have until Sept. 2017

Its your standard clipboard Elizabeth. So, if you 'paste' in to an application it should be there. 

I don't get it why the don't want my money... They do. Hence they have a product you can purchase. They, however, set the price they want which is €99per year. You dont have to pay that, however. Its up to you. Same as me saying I dont get why Porsche dont want me £12,000.

Which version of Dropbox / mobile OS are you using? I'm wondering if its a compatibility issue.

Help!!! Did you try what I already suggested and reset the password to relink?

I have seen before that if you have non-standard ASCII characters, or a very complicated password it can cause issues. It maybe worth, just until the devices are linked (as you only need do it once) changing your password at www.dropbox.com/account to something easier and then once linked change it back.

Contact support https://www.dropbox.com/support Replies may take a few days but you can track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com I'm wondering if maybe the apps need uninstalling and reinstalling to 'pull down' that you're no longer a Team user. 

Yup :)

You need to leave the Team completely. See https://help.dropbox.com/business/free-teams-overview

What other files? As soon as you set up a Team account you stop being able to edit ANY office files from your Dropbox account as you need an Office 365 licence. It isnt just inside that one folder. Its done at account level. Only thing changed is that i created the teamfolder as admin. Yes.... and as I said - as soon as…

Its done on an account basis. If you want to keep the Office editing capability you will need to 'leave' the team and join the folders via a standard Shared Folder. Its possible that your colleague has an Office licence, its a bug letting her do something it shouldn't or she's not using MS's own software. 

Have you joined a Dropbox Team? If so its a requirement, from Microsoft, that Teams/Business accounts hold a valid Office 365 account to edit files. 

Cant help you with the code, sorry, but just one word of warning before you go too far down the route.... make sure you investigate the bandwidth limits and that you won't exceed them. 

Based upon the sheer volume of posts there does seem to be some sort of issue yesterday and today (note not with the historical posts). Can I therefore please ask that to try and keep things in one place you all look at and follow Too many login attempts.Try again later ? Thanks

Not sure, you'll need to log a ticket, but its not worth doing unless his machine is clean - or it'll simply reinfect the folder. 

Oh and see My files were corrupted by ransomware. What can I do?

Should I advise the authorities ? No. Your shared folders have a simple virus. Thats all. What should I state (privately by phone) to Eric, the Originator ? Your folders have a virus that are spreading to everybody in the share. I would also tell everybody else in the share though incase they get infected also. What should…

I have no idea if I'm honest, however I know that when they launched the 1TB service there was a 2TB and 5TB option (which was based on 200gb and 500gb), however it isnt possible to buy them now. Dropbox have always said if you want more than 1TB you need to move to business :(

*moves to API forum as you're more likely to get help there*

A restart is a good idea Pam - as is logging in and out on website. Also, if you've only just done the trashing thing you need to give it time to reindex and sync (i.e. back to a green tick)

What files are showing at www.dropbox.com/home and www.dropbox.com/account THEY are the ones to look at. If you want to accept a shared folder, it doesn't matter if you are under your limit. If accepting a share would put you over it then you cant. 

You need to speak to them and ask for help. 

A very quick google shows that this isnt a Dropbox issue but more than likely a hardware one. I'd suggest having a look at Google to see what could be causing it and making sure you update all firmware etc.
