What is www.dropbox.com/events showing?

I suspect it will become mandatory because the change is being forced on us by Apple - it is doing the same with all cloud storage solutions and moving them in to a new folder structure. The change is caused by that not a Dropbox 'choice' as it were. In terms of if you need to do all devices, no, you dont. You could do 1…

Unfortunately not @"mafamamrouk" , no. 

There isnt an official tool I'm aware of so the only thing I can think of is to download everything and reupload. 

You've not actually said why it isnt working -whats the error messages etc.? For the ones from the third party website are they appearing online at www.dropbox.com/home ? If not THATS the issue not the software. 

This isnt something Dropbox, or even Google, have decided to do - it is one forced upon them by the OS developers. This wont change unless it changes at OS level (i.e. Apple) Putting both together has always been a recipe for disaster and one not to do - you are very, very lucky not to have had huge data losses due to it.

It is possible via Dropbox for Business - you will need to check that you get the right account level to do so. You can see how to do it etc. at https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/domain-verification-invite-enforcement

Hi @"gokenchung" It is - as long as Dropbox is running. Does www.dropbox.com/events show any syncing having occured?

Hi @"Ama92" Can you have a try of following https://help.dropbox.com/installs/advanced-reinstall ?

If you do not have access to the email its unlikely you can do so: https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/lost-email-access However, you need to contact Dropbox support via www.dropbox.com/support while not logged in that even includes here. Its usually easier to use an incognito window.

When you go to https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan what does it say? If it says 'Basic' / shows a 2gb quota you are using a free account and so not on the…

Dropbox wont let you do it yourself unless you are building your own application via the API. Have a look at this for info. 

You need to contact your bank - somebody has stolen your card details and so they need to stop it and change it. If they are doing it here, they'll do it elsewhere. 

No, sorry. Recovery of files is not retroactive. You would have had to have been a paid member at the time of deletion to recover it.

Try clearing the cache from Dropbox by going in to 'Personal and Settings (the cog button at the top)' 

They wont take up Dropbox space if they are not at www.dropbox.com/home. They WILL take up hard drive space if you saved somewhere else (desktop / downloads etc.). Or, if you deleted to recycle bin and havent emptied yet 🙂

Have you followed the instructions from https://help.dropbox.com/sync/selective-sync-overview ?

It is not possible to delete the 'Recent Files' list I'm afraid. Note, however, they are not using up space or quota if they are not stored within your Dropbox. 

Hi @"adriancito" You can find it at https://www.dropbox.com/paper

You cant I'm afraid. No such feature exists. Simplest way is to use shared folders to move the files between the two accounts. 

1) Dropbox doesnt support FTP 2) Yes. However, note that often link formats are changed and so may suddenly stop working. Same if they hit bandwidth limits. Simply put Dropbox is not a content distribution system/network and shouldnt be used or relied upon as one. 

Is Excel open with that file? What happens if you close it? 

I'd suggest recontacting support for help as they will have access to the other information - we here are a public web forum. We have no access to what you initially said etc. 

How were you accessing the files in the first place? Microsoft doesnt natively save to Dropbox via a computer. You should have all files at www.dropbox.com/home. You can also see what has happened to files at www.dropbox.com/events. The other question is 'how long?' since you accessed the files? Was your last log in over…

Recent on Site you cannot and it seems an update to the desktop app also now means you cannot. You used to be able to right click on the notification and hide.

Is this on the desktop app?

Dropbox doesnt have this as a feature I dont believe. You'd need to use some other sort of tool to do it

@"JustinK_" I'm going to add.... it is still there.
