How do you mean notifications? If you mean emails/pop ups etc. then this is correct as no feature exists. You need to manually check. You can get weekly digest emails via the Account Settings pages but not ongoing regular ones. 

If you mean if you have hard drive failure then yes, you should be able to just log on and reinstall and it'll download everything again. 

You cannot really compare to a computer as that will have software on it which does it already for you. Most of these programs are simply like a USB pen - there job is to get the stuff to the device. Opening things is then down to the device. In terms of what Google does, sorry, I'm not sure. 

For the referral what does www.dropbox.com/referral_status show?

Hi @"SNupnorth" How do you mean they overlap?

The whole point of Dropbox is to have multiple computers 🙂 However, if you mean a separate folder structure for each machine? No. The idea is it is shared across all. 

Basically if you are being told you cannot download them there isnt anything you can do - its a setting they need to change 🙂

Sounds like they have been shared with download permissions turned off 🙂 The owner can alter this by following https://help.dropbox.com/share/set-link-permissions

You will need to download and install an app which can open .eml - the Dropbox software isnt capable of this 

Going to be honest and say Google Docs isnt my thing, but, this article may help you; https://9to5google.com/2023/06/04/dropbox-google-workspace-migration/

Hi @"Doble G" Unfortunately the 180 day recovery window only works from the day of purchase, so, it wouldnt work on a file deleted over 30 days ago. 

There is no hacking etc. Have a read of https://9to5google.com/2023/06/04/dropbox-google-workspace-migration/ and check your emails for information as to what is happening.

You can rename anything you want 🙂 Just make sure if you do it on the website to leave the extension (i.e. bit after the fullstop). 

Hi @"Rejuv" If you are using the desktop software to download files it will automatically continue from the last 4mb block. If you arent how are you doing it? Via the website?

I've just tested here again and as I said a simple replace of the file works. As it always has - even if I replace from another location. @"TrevorBarrett" could you try saving your file to say the desktop first and then overwriting the old one? 

Hi @"TrevorBarrett" It shouldnt work like that - on mine it always updates and just replaces the file as long as the initial file is not deleted first. How are you replacing it? What is things like the OS / set up (so desktop or web etc.)

Renaming shouldnt do that - have you refreshed the page etc. to look for it? Alternatively try going to www.dropbox.com/events and recovering it

Hi @"haptrail" Basically, no, if they have it in their Dropbox account it uses their space/quota. So, if they want it on their computer even as a read only in Dropbox it uses quota. If they just need a read only version send a shared link instead. The downside though is they need to continually click to go to the web page…

It can take up to 8 hours to reclaim space - it isnt always instant

Yes it is! Have a look at https://help.dropbox.com/share/create-file-request

Hi @"ALICHIA4" What does www.dropbox.com/events show? In regards to links they are probably not from your account, they usually come from others and only work while that person has the files in their account. As soon as they delete/remove the files the link stops. Have you asked whoever sent you it to get a new one?

Hi @"Lydia G" Either of those will link your business and your personal Dropbox accounts. That will mean at the bottom of the Dropbox website you can click on your name and swap between the two and you will have 2 Dropbox folders on your computers 🙂 one for work and one for personal. 

The amount of space you have in your account - for a free user probably around the 2gb mark: www.dropbox.com/account/plan 

The same applies then - you cannot password protect a folder in Dropbox. There are ways of password protecting links when you share things (via a paid account) OR creating secure storage areas via the Dropbox vault (also a paid feature) but there isnt a way of password protecting any regular folders.
