What is http://www.dropbox.com/events show? Note that it will only show if it was deleted within the last 6 months. Longer than that and they wont appear on that page. Note that it is not possible for them to be removed and not on that page unless the owner deleted them and then also permanently deleted them. Also, Dropbox…

The best thing to do is go into iTunes and change the location of the music library to the new location and make sure that this is, on both devices pointing in to Dropbox.

Dropbox support is ONLY available for paid users. As you arent now there is no way to get that. Only you can have accepted the invite to join a team, if you want to leave it you can do so via this article. Or just download the data from https://help.dropbox.com/sync/download-entire-folders

The only people who can help is Dropbox - have you replied to the tickets that were previously opened?

Just to add to this @"nurbaiti" they work on a rolling 24 hours so it isnt midnight to midnight.

When on a request link if they choose the option 'Upload from Dropbox' it should work quicker as its going from one Dropbox account to another. It doesnt work like that if Dropbox is just on the desktop, because then it still needs to do the upload. 

You've always had to keep the window open - as without the window open there is no web link between the computer the files are on and Dropbox. That bit hasnt changed at all. If, however, the person has a Dropbox account and chooses that as the option to upload on Requests then they can close it as it doesnt need the…

What version of iOS are you using? You need to have it at least 16.7.10 or higher for the App to work. If you are below that, which is likely on an iPad 1 and 2 you must use https://m.dropbox.com instead.

What can happen, other than Backups, is that if you are in a share they can continue to add files to the folder which continues to take up your space, even if its already full.

Are you sure you are logging in to the right account? What is http://www.dropbox.com/events showing? dougkealey wrote:I don't know when you reduced my plan to have a limit of 5Gb. Dropbox's free plan starts at 2gb. You can see your quota and plan at http://www.dropbox.com/account/plan including bonus space etc. given :)

Nobody here can help I'm afraid. As you already have a ticket in all you can do is await them getting back to you next week (note they dont work on weekends)

To confirm this is to view from within the browser itself, as in a preview and not downloading and opening it from the local Dropbox folder which then opens in Safari?

Have you tried following https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/team-locked-state ? I believe the Team Admin may need to do that, however. Another option is to see if you can leave the team yourself.

Only work around I can think of is to send them it before it goes on Sign. Its also something to suggest as a feature: Ideas | The Dropbox Community

You need to get your organisation to send you an invite to their account - thus using up a paid licence. That will convert your account to a paid one and all should work fine :)

Go to the page that Jay, and me, linked to (https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan) and tell us what it says, or better yet post a screenshot.

Is the folder in the basic one? If so create a shared folder between the two accounts if it will let you. You may find if you are over quota you are limited to only downloading the files locally and reuploading them to the other account.

Conflicts occur when you have two different versions of the same file edited before the changes have sync'd. So, I'm not sure how KeyPass works, but, when you edit on your phone do you automatically save the changes to Dropbox? What I'm wondering is, could the Mac be changing the file at all by editing its last modified…

lpvmc wrote:Is the way I described it above, the way to do tghat? That wont work I'm afraid. To get edit files without being a member of the shared folder.

DropBox_why wrote:Why do I have to purchase more space if I receive a link from another user and i have no more space in my account? Because shared folders use up the quota of everybody in it. If you dont need write access you can ask for a shared link instead which gives you read-only access via the web. Or, ask the to…

Quite possibly - Dropbox isnt really intended to be on an external drive so it may be slower than internal. However, I suspect the bigger issue is the number of files you have.
