If you select the 'online only' view then it just downloads placeholders to the device. BUT when you then need to open them it will have to download them first and then open (so can be slow if they are large). It also does not automatically turn them back to online only. So, if you open and edit lots of large files you…

If you are just uploading to somebody why not just ask for a Request Link? https://help.dropbox.com/share/create-file-request 

That isnt how Dropbox should work. Do you happen to have multiple Dropbox folders on your machine at all OR have you set up Selective Sync?

boohah wrote:I am thinking if I can remove myself and then re-add it, I can add that last file and be done with it That wouldnt work I'm afraid. Because if you re-add it then it would download everything that was in the folder back to your account anyway IF it even lets you add it - you cannot add a share which will take…

Have you tried to rebuild the search system? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253479408

Is Dropbox running on your machine? However, if it ISNT and you have had a drive disconnect you probably want to backup what is stored locally first as there is a very, very good chance it will wipe things. If it is running what does it say if you mouse over its icon on the status bar. 

Captcurrent wrote:How do I turn of badges You cant. To not use them you just dont use the forums. Captcurrent wrote:I feel this is violating my on-line privacy In what way? Badges are simply issued for how often you interact on here. There is no link to you personally with them in way nor are the identifiable to you.

Believe me - I'd love a smaller plan, but, I also use some of the other things. However, Dropbox as a company need to remain profitable to stay in business. If they dont they wont - and cutting income has been shown that it wont increase profits or revenue.

Sounds like you havent actually joined a shared folder but instead agreed to move your data in to a Teams (Business) account. Contact the Admin of the account for help. They need to REMOVE (note not delete!!) you from the Team: https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/delete-member 

You could try rolling back the Dropbox folder via www.dropbox.com/events and Dropbox Rewind.

You need to ask the manufacturers of the software for assistance. The Dropbox servers are fine, but, its more than likely API keys or links have changed or broken - at various points these need updating/changing etc. and if a developer doesn't do this the link fails. The "token not ready" error confirms this. A quick fix…

Out of interest is the file / application still open?

Once an account is deleted it is not possible to recover the data from Dropbox - you are warned this multiple times before you can delete an account. If you created a business account and merged the personal one in to it (again you are warned, and almost forced, to try and set up a new account) it MAY be possible to…

There is no search function available on links that I'm aware of. So, if you want it on your Dropbox you'll need to upgrade. OR ask for a transfer/download link and download it all to your machine and use Finder/Explorer etc. to search the downloaded content instead

Warren J. wrote:(1) It deletes files I have downloaded to Dropbox for safekeeping without my knowledge or permission. Dropbox cannot do that. It simply does not have the code to do so.

This is still only possible on paid accounts at certain levels: https://help.dropbox.com/security/physical-location-data-storage 

Does it work if the file is downloaded and say opened from the Desktop instead of the Dropbox directory?

Are you sure you are logged in to the right account? What is www.dropbox.com/events showing? How did you pay? If it was credit card use https://help.dropbox.com/billing/find-credit-card-charge to see what account was upgraded.
