Dropbox probably wont work for you here I'm afraid as you are very likely to get banned with that volume of data being used: https://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-links Dropbox isnt a content distribution system I'm afraid and as such does have very strict limits on it. The only plan which would probably work would be a…

Dropbox hasnt removed paper? You can access it via https://www.dropbox.com/paper

Does it have any illegal characters in it? https://help.dropbox.com/organize/file-names 

Yes it is - totally free 😃

There is no way to stop them on the desktop/website but you can disable the notifications via email here: https://www.dropbox.com/account/notifications 

You should be able to do this via the website: https://help.dropbox.com/organize/how-to-manage-dropbox-backup#To-manage-your-backups-with-the-updated-Dropbox-Backup

JoRo2 wrote:can you also disable visible share links as well as visible download links. that was my question. No. The share button will still be visible, BUT, all it literally does is copy the link they've already used to the clipboard.

No. You can disable download. But you cannot disable or limit what people do with that link. So if you sent a link to me there is nothing, at all, you could do to stop me sending it to Rich, as an example. 

JoRo2 wrote:i want to know if in dropbox you can disable download ability and resharing ability Simply put, no. You can disable download but cannot disable sharing of link or resharing if it was downloaded in some way. The plans are the ones the help article talk about at the top:…

JoRo2 wrote:It doesn't mention anything about disabling the ability to reshare for example Ah, apologies, I thought you meant to disable download and then reshare that file. It simply isnt possible - on any service if we are going to be honest. Its dead easy for a person to just share the link to others, or, even if it was…

You can see all here: https://help.dropbox.com/share/set-link-permissions What I would say, however, is careful as no system is infallible. 

You'll need to log a ticket at http://www.dropbox.com/support for help. Or, if a free user hopefully somebody here sees it Monday. https://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-links

You need to check the email that you will have got on the 13th of June telling you about the deletion. That will tell you when they are due to be deleted. Alternatively you can moge the files out of the directory they are in and in to one of your own. This usually happens because the folder they are in is owned by somebody…

As that isnt the point of the promotion I'm afraid. The requirements are that it is installed on a unique computer (not even a…

What version is it? You can mouse over its icon to get the version number. Also, when mousing over do you get any errors etc.?
