@"PW7" wrote:How can I just send an Email (or a message, whatever, some text) to all the members of a DropBox group. ... It should be obvious but I can't find an easy way to do it. Dropbox doesn't have that capability. You need to email them yourself using your own mail client.

@"dcamarena" wrote:is it possible to connect to my dropbox data via SMB 3 protocol? No.

@"Leighlynn" wrote:... it's apparently not backing up my computer as I checked that You checked your Backups page? If so and there's nothing there, give it a few hours to update and check your space usage again.

@"PaTeRiCa" wrote:When I target my folder (copy and paste the address), SyncBack changes it to "\\www.dropbox.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\home\(account name)" and then tells me there is a network device that doesn't work. That's something you'll need to discuss with 2BrightSpark as their documentation seems to indicate that you can…

@"noureldeen77" wrote:can i schedule my dropbox to sync files in certain time weekly...for example syncing starts every sunday at 10 pm? No. As long as Dropbox is running, it will sync files as needed. The only way to do this would be to use a task scheduler to start and stop the Dropbox application as needed.

@"PaTeRiCa" wrote:It's possibile to create a task witch backup my files and folder on my Dropbox account? Dropbox has a backup feature but it only backs up the key folders on your computer (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.) plus an external drive. It's a continually operating process; not one that runs on a schedule.…

@"SweetTasha" wrote:I don't want to use the app. I've received 3 email message in November, and more in previous months. There's no setting to stop receiving them. That said, I have a couple of secondary accounts that I use only through the website and I no longer receive the emails. They likely stop after a certain amount…

@"TF Office" wrote:... I accidently deleted a file from my DropBox Desktop. I logged into DropBox Online to recover the file, and it is not in the Deleted Files folder. Where can I recover this file? Check your Events page to see if there's a deletion event recorded. If so, you may be able to restore the file from there.…

@"Sawyer1971" wrote:You say Dropbox cannot delete the files, but I lost all my files (totally everything) from my dropbox. That's correct; Dropbox cannot delete files from your account. The only time they're able to delete anything is if your account is unpaid and idle for more than a year, then the entire account is…

@"thebattina" wrote:Is there a way to contact DropBox to find my personal account? This can't be true. Were you a member of a Business team and were you removed from the team? If so, it's true. Only the team admin can help you in this case. Dropbox cannot recover your account. You need to contact the team admin and ask…

@"mg67" wrote:... the NAS client does not see the shared folders anymore, and it simply removed all data from the NAS. When trying to set up the client again, the shared folders are not visible. First, keep in mind that the Dropbox client on the NAS is created by the NAS company; not Dropbox. Any issues with it should be…

@"Jason D.8" wrote:... all I had to do was go to the original Word document, change it, then export it and overwrite the old PDF in the process. As a test, go through the same process but export the file to a different location and then manually move it into the Dropbox folder, overwriting the original. Check your link…

I tried to sent different files to this created emailadres but i never received anything. Are you sending the messages directly to that email address or did you set up a forwarder from a custom…

@"AlannaMP" wrote:When sharing a folder with a group of people, will each person (including myself) receive an email notification once a document has been uploaded to the folder? You can enable a weekly digest email for activity in your shared folders, but that's it. * https://www.dropbox.com/account/notifications

@"AR18" wrote:In other systems I am used to get a popup saying that the file is already existing with the same name...etc... asking for replacing or saving however with a _1 ... could we make somewhere a rule to ask for this? Dropbox has no such feature.

@"Jason D.8" wrote:I noticed today that editing a file and resaving it without changing the name now changes the Dropbox link ... It depends on how the file is saved. In order for a file to retain its link, the file cannot be deleted. When a file is deleted and replaced, a new link is generated. Some applications, when…

@"Alekx" wrote: Can I use dropbox basic in my company for commercial use only? Yes.

@"Lanaex" wrote:Does somebody know whether it is possible to get real help from dropbox, because the chat is only sending automatic messages... Or there is no help at all? The support options vary based on your account level. All the support options available to you are shown on the Support page. If you have a Basic…

@"Ceddyfilms" wrote:When I upload .mp4 files, every file I upload is created with a duplicate file labeled "._C01930.mp4". Randomly started happening, anybody else run into this? Dropbox doesn't create those files; your operating system does. They're likely already there on your drive, just hidden. They occur when you're…

@"JAZZ4MURPHY" wrote:A colleague has sent me a link to view a file, each time I click on it it tells me my DB is low on space and I need to upgrade, how do i just access the colleagues drop box link sent by e mail Please?? It sounds like you weren't sent a link to view, but were rather invited to join a shared folder. In…

@"EdMorton" wrote:I want to backup specific folders like "C:\cygwin64\home\foo\bar" - how do I tell the app to do that? You can't. The Backup feature only backs up the key folders of your operating system; Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc, along with external drives. You can't specify other folders to be backed up. Also…

@"adgorn" wrote:I just disconnected an old PC in order to add a different new laptop due to the device number limit. I had DB in the Quick Access area (Windows 10. ) It's still there on the old PC even after disconnecting. Uninstalling the Dropbox application doesn't remove files from the device. It just removes the sync…

@"Delanoble" wrote:It only pops up a scroll wheel option when doing the latter one. That would normally mean you're not clicking on the actual link, but just a non-clickable portion of the web page. I've tried on multiple browsers and it's still working as expected to me.

@"plh" wrote:... I didn't notice the billing date. Yet, I was charged the annual fee on 11/19 ... can I still get the full refund as it's only three days since they posted the payment? You can try contacting Support, but typically Dropbox does not offer refunds. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a…

@"EricBuist" wrote:I am already at 1920x1080 and didn't change that. What about your screen scaling? The Dropbox app doesn't always behave properly if you've changed the scaling of text/icons (125%, 150%).

@"DanaeGoodman" wrote:we are looking for a way to compile all our photos into one safe location. Is it possible to have guests add their photos, but not view everyone's? Yes. The feature you're looking for is called a File Request. * https://help.dropbox.com/share/create-file-request

@"DJDreStar" wrote:I thought that a Dropbox account was not needed to view the files I share via a link. If this is still true why can't my clients access the files I send them? and why are they being made to believe that they must pay for more storage in order to view the files, when they really don't? If they're sent a…

@"Rossmcjjjj" wrote:What happens if a dropbox has been accidently deleted If you mean the entire account was deleted, then it's not possible to recover the account once it has been deleted.

@"Somuch4helpingcustomers" wrote:... dropbox claims I'm out of storage space but I see no files in my account except for a few strange files I never added myself ... Check your Backups page. Dropbox doesn't (and can't) add files to your account on its own. If you're seeing files in your account, then you've either added…

@"hello_box11" wrote:It sounds like you can use the dropbox backup feature ... Yes, that is an option as well, but that also prevents you from interacting with those files in certain ways. You can't modify them through Dropbox (unless you modify the originals and let the backup sync them again) and you can't share those…
