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.

Hi @"unpicked_seams", Just wanted to nudge this in case you missed it!

I'm delighted to heat that! @"NR1041" & @"Kathy1379", can you confirm if it's back for you as well?

Hi @"PhilipF", My apologies for missing that but thank you regardless for confirming both points for me. I'll have one of agents reach out to you and try and investigate this further. Same for you @"NR1041" & @"Kathy1379"!

Hi Swimgeek! Thanks for sharing this idea with the Community! Interesting, I've never even thought of applying Dark Mode to app icons. I've opened up this idea so others can vote on it! Hopefully it gets enough support.

Hi @"unpicked_seams"! Thanks for chiming in with your idea, great to hear how passionate you are about this! However I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as Rich, in that I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "Support" as you should be able to upload these files already. Are you having issues doing so? Please let me know so I can…

Hi @"PhilipF" & @"NR1041", Thanks for letting us know. Just as a potential workaround (and also maybe troubleshooting depending on the results), could you: * pick a file this is happening to and hover your cursor over it * click the 3 dots on the right of the file (see screenshot) * Click "File Info" in the pop up menu.…

Hi @"nsrubio", Simon confirmed on this thread that the issues seems to be solved for them, can you let me know if it's that same for you? If not, I'll investigate further.

I'm glad to hear it @"simonbands"! Let me know if I can help in any other way!

Hi @"arv0wz", Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear you've been having issues with Dash. If you go to Settings and navigate to the Apps tab, you can scroll down until you see the heading "View Dropbox Content". You should see Dash listed here. Click on it and then click "Disconnect". This should disable Dash on your…

Hi phjsw, Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I can see how that can be a hinderance for both you and your clients. Let's open this up for voting and hopefully we can get some support for this idea.

Hi John_Cox, I think that's a brilliant idea and I completely see the use case. It would be super handy to be part of multiple teams. I've opened your idea up for voting now!

Hi @"electroDrive333", Rich is right, this is not expected behavior. I's suggest following his advice and making sure you're on the latest version that he shared. Also make sure you have the below setting enabled: Leu us know how you get on with this!
