I have uploaded folders with sub folders quite successfully now for many years using the web interface (my work doesnt allow install of the software). It works as long as you dont have lots of directories in the folder and a reliable internet connection.

You may not, however, SOMEBODY or SOMETHING on your machine has. USB / external drive? Network share? Shared Folders? https://help.dropbox.com/security/missing-reappearing-corrupted-files

That isnt an app. That is an add on. That means that from when its added (i.e. now if you bought it) everything deleted will be recoverable for 1 year from deletion. Note, however, it is NOT retroactive. So your 50,200 files would NOT be available with this. But, should be if they were deleted within 30 days via standard…

wahooooh! If its saying you need an add on app that is NOT Dropbox!! Dropbox offers free restores within 30 days via the website - note, no app needed. Sounds like you have a virus on your machine. 

https://help.dropbox.com/security/missing-reappearing-corrupted-files https://help.dropbox.com/security/recover-deleted-files-folders And remember, Dropbox is NOT a replacement for a back up system - no cloud storage ever is. You should ALWAYS have more than one!

You're entitled to your little diva-rants and strops and if us posting here gets you that upset and distressed I'd be asking myself 'why'. On all of your "points" you couldnt be further from the truth. Never mind. Its your loss. 

We obviously have very differing opinions of interfering. I was trying to offer advice on what is a public forum. Of which, you know, people are allowed to have altering opinions to you. You just seem incapable of accepting that. There is no propaganda. There is no underlying agenda. No other reason than trying to help. I…

Nothing. In fact most of us also pay for Pro accounts. Unfortunately what I'm saying is factually right. There are very very few people complaining about this - hence saying earlier get people to come along and up vote it. Make it an issue. It may not help, nothing may change, but its more likely when its more than just a…

No. Its fact. Regardless of how many people dont know this exists its still a good indication of feeling within the product. "Recents" for example had hundreds of posts on it within days of roll out. Therefore its clear to see 'its an issue'. This has had 37 in 17 months (including many double posts). 

It is so sad to see how many people are annoyed about changes nobody wants, likes or needs and dropbox staff not acknowledging, listening and fixing. Sadly, as annoyed as people are there are still 500 million users of Dropbox who are quite happy with it. Very, very, few posts saying otherwise. I cant see it changing, but,…

data loss could occur only on that device I used this trick or it would affect my whole dropbox cloud storage so that my other devices on which I have dropbox would have data losses too? As Dropbox is linked to all other devices the data loss replicates across the cloud and then all other linked devices. In some cases it…

It isnt possible, no.

No Moves etc, are handled by your operating system NOT Dropbox

Please post on the official thread for this issue. That way things can be investigated properly: Getting error 500? Post here

Note I dont work for Dropbox so its just my understanding, but, this is the info from the Dropbox site https://www.dropbox.com/help/971?path=payments_and_billing Dropbox is not stating that it isnt charging VAT, it is, its just bundled in to the price.

I think this may be your issue..... VAT details only need to be added to BUSINESS products (see this guide from KPMG - http://www.kpmg.com/Global/en/IssuesAndInsights/ArticlesPublications/vat-gst-essentials/pages/united-kingdom.aspx#6 ). Dropbox Pro is not, and never has been a 'Business' product. It is intended for Home…

Or you'd think they do want it as a punishment to try and stop people using it all up all of the time? Remembering that Dropbox isnt primarily a streaming service, its a syncing one (which a lot of people use for free) and that ever MB of data costs them money to transfer.

Your next ban will be for about 72 hours with each one getting longer. And yes it does, you get 20gb of bandwidth across all of your links and shares and it includes playback in the browser (as that uses bandwidth).

As has been said they cannot be reactivated. 

You cant I'm afraid. The account has been removed and so has the data - as the emails warned. 

You cant. As has been said - the account is closed. Therefore its closed and deleted. 

Dropbox have previously said that once an account is deleted the data is removed so as Rich said that is now unrecoverable.

As of now I am turning off the istock integration with dropbox until this issue is resolved. Not sure if you are aware, but, iStock wrote that code themselves. It isnt Dropbox's so if it isnt working for you tell them and ask them if they can change it in future releases. 

You cant download them all - gmail is a web based platform it isnt designed to work on a computer. You may be able to download individual emails, however, but you'd need to ask Google how to download / save them and then put each one inside Dropbox

You need to google where your email folders are stored and put them in the Dropbox folder to let them sync - and possibly also tell Outlook where they are. 

Suggest you speak to Microsoft Bill as to how to move Outlook folders as that should work - it could be that its also looking for things like archive or address files. 

How about a bit of a botched work around.... * Create a folder on your machine called 'Not Sync'd' (or whatever you want it to be) * Put your first hard drives worth of data in to that folder. Let it upload to a green tick - that bit is critical!! * Remove that folder from your local machine via Selective Sync * Create a…

The only way that would work is if you copied everything to one computers hard drive first (as this is how Dropbox works - from a folder on a computer, which is not an external drive). Once its all in that folder you can then copy that to an external drive

Robert isnt lying at all. What you see on the website is a preview of it. These are encoded at a set rate and play for a maximum of 15 mins. To see the full version, or longer files, you need to download it.
