That isnt the lastest version actually. This one is: Stable Build 223.4.4909 | The Dropbox Community Is the update not updating as there is an error or are you not wanting to update thinking its most recent?

Have a look at Dropbox Rewind which may do it all for you in one go :)

As I said before the file isnt its the link or the transfer. Files do not expire. I posted the URL's for you to see what transfers and links you have so you can see them, or, if you click on the notification you received it will take you to it and tell you what it is. 

Just to confirm, again, that Dropbox does not expire files. They are not removed. There is no such thing as 'expiring files' as I said - your other post I've killed off so things dont get complicated. Except, as I said above, files are only removed if you are over quota or inactive. But after warning.

Warren J. wrote:When and why do my postings expire? Have you clicked on the notification to see what it relates to? Its almost certainly EITHER a Transfer (http://www.dropbox.com/transfers) or a Link (http://www.dropbox.com/links )

I agree :) I suggest creating an Idea for it on the Dropbox Idea's area to see if others also would like it.

Warren J. wrote:Does Dropbox sometimes remove files from your folder without your request or permission? No it doesnt. There is 2 exceptions though - if you are over quota consistently they will delete files to bring you under OR you do not use the account for 12 months they will remove data for inactivity.

That will only have uploaded everything in that folder. You can check that by going to that folder on http://www.dropbox.com/home. However did you also set Camera Uploads active by any chance? It shouldn't kick in on internals, but, may on first time. Also if you are just looking at the Photos tab this shows ALL images in…

How have you uploaded them? What way did you do it? Can you give us more info

christina76 wrote:How can I get rid of this error. You need to pay to upgrade or get more space. They have an increase quota, you do not. There paid quota does not benefit you in anyway. Or, if you need to download only ask for read only shared links or to upload ask for file requests. 

lpvmc wrote:Is this normal? It all depends upon your internet connection. 10gb is a huge amount of data. The message should appear on that bottom box that its finished uploading. Have you checked the folder/file on another device or tab to see if it has uploaded by going to http://www.dropbox.com/home ?

As a workaround on this have you looked at http://www.dropbox.com/events to see if anything helps there? :)

Would Selective Sync help at all? That way you can remove folders locally you dont need anymore. 

Martin D.22 wrote:"How can I change my email address on one of my devices? I need to change the Dropbox email address on one device" You arent changing email. You are changing account. You need to log out of the account already installed and add the new one. 

Martin D.22 wrote:I do not see a security tab in the Dropbox browser interface https://www.dropbox.com/account/general : And if all else fails just unlink, uninstall, shut down and reboot and reinstall via http://www.dropbox.com/downloading 

You need to unlink Dropbox from your device and then relog on using the email you wish to use. Before you relog on, however, make sure you have either moved the files out of the Dropbox directory, or, deleted them, or they'll sync to the account you change. 

Martin D.22 wrote:I need to change the Dropbox email address on one device to a different email address on that device It isnt possible to do that. You can only have 1 email address per account. So if you want a different email on a device you need to use a separate account as Rich said.
