Hi Micahromo, Thanks for submitting this idea to the Community! Group wide notification suppression seems like a solid idea to me. I've opened your idea up for voting so it will hopefully gain traction!

Hi @"Здравко", Thanks for reporting this issue too! I've since passed this on to our team and they have confirmed this morning that they have now fixed the issue. Thanks again and please let me know if you need anything else!

Thank you so much @"avatar382"! I've reached out to the same team members and this prompt has been removed for you as well. As I mentioned on this thread, if you have an adblocker, try whitelisting Dropbox so that it does not interfere and you're not excessively seeing other prompts. Have a great day!

Hi @"someone4" & @"CChesnutt", Thanks for sharing your feedback! I appreciate the frustration you and your recipients are going through when you share files. The same idea was shared recently but unfortunately Dropbox will not be implementing this change. I know it's not the answer you were looking for but maybe you can…

Hi @"MikSam", Yes zipping files would reduce the overall file count but it would also reduce the utility of the files. I'd recommend the best practice which is to use selective sync to no longer sync the folder you would zip. This would leave the files fully accessible online but remove it from total number of synced files.

Thanks for the feedback @"avatar382"! The team is aware of the issue with adblockers and are currently working on this. Can you confirm if it's the same prompt that you're seeing?

Hi @"concernedcitizen", I just wanted to touch base and let you know that I've flagged this internally and had this prompt removed for you as you are not part of a team. You should not see it again and apologies for any inconvenience!

Hi again @"Здравко"! This is the feedback I absolutely love to see on the Community! I totally get it, addressing it before it becomes an issue and create less steps for the user. I've shared this thread and your detailed explanation with our team that handles Dropbox for Linux. Hopefully this can be updated soon!

Apologies @"Здравко"! I misspoke, the one-line call is built into apt, not Dropbox: sudo apt modernize-sources I did some research into this format, and while Debian using it by default is new, it will still work with every version of Debian and Ubuntu we support.

Hi @"jaycub", Thanks for sharing your feedback. I appreciate the frustration you go through with the current file sharing process. I can see you weighed in on this idea that was closed as of yesterday. As a bit of context, I was the one that investigated this idea and if it was feasible or not and spoke with the relevant…

Hi @"Verwijs", Thanks for submitting your idea. I've looked into this and it looks like we won't be implementing this as we have a built in command which will convert dropbox.list to dropbox.sources. We appreciate the feedback though and are always looking to hear your feedback!

Hi again @"concernedcitizen"! I just wanted to check back in with you and ask if you use an adblocker of some kind? The reason I ask is because if so, adblocker can prevent Dropbox from gathering info on whether someone has seen a prompt like the one you've shared. We have safeguards in place to prevent people from being…

Hi marcemarce95! Thanks for submitting another idea! I've moved this one to voting as well so let's hope it gains some traction.

Hi @"marcemarce95", Thanks for sharing your idea. Unfortunately this simply is not possible. Syncing requires a dedicated folder and will always sync both ways instead of just one way. Dropbox can't create a true one-way backup of your entire account directly to an external hard drive without first syncing files to your…

Hi marcemarce95, Welcome to the Dropbox Community and thank you for submitting your idea. A dedicated image viewer sounds like a great idea to me! I've enabled voting for this idea so we can let the rest of the community weigh in.

Hi @"Yoam73", Thanks for reaching out on the Community! I've looked into to this and it seems like this was an intended change. I would point out however that you can still access Version History by right clicking on a file, hovering over "More" and clicking "Version History". Same amount of clicks, just a little extra…

Hi @"jsquared", Thanks for submitting this idea. I've looked into this and unfortunately this is not possible at this time. Public shared links are intentionally self-contained. If Dropbox allowed a shortcut inside a public folder to point elsewhere, a user could unknowingly gain access to content they weren’t explicitly…

Hi Cindy K.11, Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year! I really like this idea, even if was just a toggle lock on the file or folder to prevent sharing. I've opened this idea up so the Community can cast their vote!

Hi jonat8han, Another interesting idea! This has also been opened up for votes!

Hi jonat8han! Thanks for submitting your idea to the Community and Happy New Year! Utilising the embedded timecode makes a lot of sense ( I used to work in video editing so I understand completely). I've opened this idea up for voting and added my own vote too! Best of luck!

Hi @"concernedcitizen"! Welcome to the Dropbox Community and Happy New Year! I've checked on my end and you're right, this does seem to be incorrect and should not be appearing for you. I've reached out internally for the relevant team to investigate and hopefully fix this for you soon. I'll let you know as soon as I have…

Hi Systems, Thanks for sharing this idea! Let's see if the rest of the Community want to get on board with this idea!

Hi Bennyb10, I love this idea, seems like it makes a lot of sense when trying to restore files. I've opened this idea up for votes from the rest of the Community.

Hi TeeKoo1, Thank you for submitting this idea! I've opened it up for votes from the rest of the Community. I think this could be a very popular one!

Hi @"hohok98", Sorry to hear you're having an issue finding your files. Can I few questions as well? How much storage were you using originally? Were you over quota? And did you receive any email from Dropbox to let you know you were over your storage quota?

Hi @"alanon", I just wanted to chime in and see if I can help here. After looking at your screenshot and seeing the file path /media/$USER/data/Dropbox, I was wondering, are you moving your dropbox folder to an External drive or was it already on an external drive and you're attempting to move it from it to another space?…

Hi there, Thanks for sharing your idea. I've opened this up for voting and hopefully the rest of the Community can get on board.

Hi NixC, Thanks for submitting your idea! I think this would be a great feature, even if it was a toggle feature in settings. Let's see what the rest of the Community thinks!

Hi Squire7001, Thanks for sharing this idea. I can see that that would cause issues, especially with storage resources. I've opened this up to voting to the rest of the Community and weigh in.

Hi Marcodegrotto, Thanks for sharing your idea. I think that is an interesting idea but I do share Mark's concerns on how this might affect ongoing subscriptions. Let's open it up to ideas and see where it goes.
