I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance, as these files are of significant importance to me. How did you check they were uploaded to Dropbox? Did you go to www.dropbox.com/home to look? OR did you just…

Hi @"Martin Simonovski" You will, unfortunately, need to manually cross reference the files on your machine and those at www.dropbox.com/home. Or, if you have Dropbox installed on a device everything in the Dropbox folder SHOULD be uploaded - as long as you have quota. As for previous files www.dropbox.com/events will help…

@"GlennEHolmes3" wrote: @"Mark" I do have to add that the previously uploaded and deleted photos/videos were all from different dates! It’s like the system chose, randomly, what to upload first. It used to do size order if I remember rightly.... not sure it still does... but the idea being that when it was finished…

@"Nickelplate" wrote:I've uninstalled OneDrive and the briefcase icons remain. I'm also not getting any Dropbox options when I right-click a folder or file. I'm unable to request files for keeping offline, and all other context menu options are missing. The icon is from OneDrive, so, if its still there its an issue with…

@"RHimadiiev" wrote:Why not implement the key command for this function? You can request a feature change via this forum area, but, its something that has been asked for a few times (rarely if I'm honest) and not implemented. 

1) How are you downloading? Can you explain the steps you are taking as that impacts the role Dropbox has on theings 2) I agree, but, at the moment its not changeable. 3) Dropbox wont and doesn't. The only time it would remove/move a file is if you move it on another connected device (and so Dropbox replicates that change)…

Sounds like something on firewall is blocking it then. I'd suggest a ticket to Support via www.dropbox.com/support

Thats an odd one. I am on 15.0 same build without issues. BUT I am not using a beta version like you. Have a try of installing https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-208-4-5824/td-p/795280 and see if that works?

If you look in the Camera Upload menu on the device you should see an option with when to upload from. If that is already 'All Photos' you will need to email support via www.dropbox.com/support and ask them to reset your camera uploads settings. 

@"AkaraMaker1109" wrote:I have more than enough space so he should be able to access the files-using my available space, right? If you sent him a shared folder with read/write access he also need enough space in his Dropbox to add the files. Your space doesn't benefit him. BUT if you need just read only access for him send…

@"Christophe M.2" wrote:I have the same issue. I deinstalled security wolf (because HP wanted to start charging me for this and HP wolf is full of bugs). Now dropbox is synchonizing non stop, creating thousands of these Bormium folders in my very complex directory / folder structure.... The question is can I deleted these…

@"clientreleases" wrote: Thanks for using Dropbox! The desktop client is regularly updated with many improvements and fixes. Another beta increment, another with no notes.

@"Gertb" wrote:Yes i can see them there. but when i click on them they will not open. Events shows things for 180 days (or longer on paid accounts). However, restores and rollbacks are only for 30 days on free accounts and it isn't possible to extend this by paying now

Oh, somebody has merged things together.... while I was replying! Yes as a few people have noticed it looks like a temp Dropbox outage. 

Is it doing that for everybody or just you? Have you tried clearing cache/cookies etc.?

@"clientreleases" wrote: Thanks for using Dropbox! The desktop client is regularly updated with many improvements and fixes. *sigh* 

@"macleanac" wrote:@"clientreleases" where are the release notes? That I agree with @"clientreleases" - its rude and lazy.... @"macleanac" wrote:I cant believe dropbox released something that changes folder structures with no warnings. .... this one, however, in their defence has been in place for many many many versions…

Note: as signature says, I aint an employee, I am just a (paying) user like you 🙂 But. If you use the link @"Здравко" then no, they dont need to be a Dropbox member to upload. You would create the link, share it with those you want to get things from and then they click on it and upload it to you. It is really that simple.…

@"rmsachs22" wrote:They see NO UPLOAD button and they can't simply drag & drop. They will only get that if they are a part of your shared folder and Dropbox user. That is via www.dropbox.com/share BUT then gives everybody in it read/write access to everything else uploaded. File requests take them direct to…

This is the only way to upload to your account via native Dropbox without a person being a member or having a shared folder with them. The other option is you write a program to do it via API. So, if you want Dropbox to collect the files for you you need to get this part to work as there is no workaround. My suggestion…

@"Dan Laferriere" wrote:Dropbox is not installed on the computer. I'm using the same computer to test the password feature before asking others in my group to use it. I created a new email account and user profile on my computer then sent the link that I had added a password to. I'm the admin for our team. Could that…

@"Braffs" wrote:Seems like Scrivener app and Dropbox are not communicating properly. Yes I agree with that bit. Sadly that's an issue with Scrivener as they build the 'link' between the two. Maybe a daft question but make sure you are on most recent version of software etc. and see if that helps. A forced restart also…

@"rsyring" wrote:Any updates on this? I dont believe there is.... 😞 

@"JFBruns" wrote: We want one family photo folder that happens automatically. That isnt possible I'm afraid. You would all have your own folder and then need to move it in to one shared folder. 

@"Dan Laferriere" wrote:When I test this it by sending the link to an email address not part of the team it does not ask for a password. Any suggestions? Do they have Dropbox installed on their device? If so it will detect that and allow access as the device itself is authenticated. 

When you log a ticket that way you get an email ticket number. Do you have them (other than the one you emailed in). https://help.dropbox.com/billing/find-credit-card-charge will also let you contact support via looking up card info

Sorry I assumed as you said Dropbox wasnt helping you'd been in contact. Dropbox does not have inbound email support. The only support is at www.dropbox.com/support. To contact Support, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in…

What is the Dropbox ticket numbers?

Hi @"ddegreef" People when using file requets are asked to input a name (and email, although you cannot access that email info). So, if you tell them to put in something such as "manager 1" you wont know who it is.
