@"SFT1" wrote:Do I just need to delete it or how do I disable backup? The second link I provided shows how to disable the backup feature.

@"SFT1" wrote:Now I am getting notifications that my account is out of space ... despite that there are no files currently in my dropbox. Check your Backups page. You likely have the backup feature enabled.

@"DBuser555" wrote:What is the green circle with the white checkmark indicating? * https://help.dropbox.com/sync/sync-icons I don't want to synch my desktop files ... If you're seeing sync icons on your Desktop files, then they're syncing to Dropbox. You've likely enabled the Backup feature.

@"_Miri" wrote:I deleted my Business account. Now I'm in need of some files. Can I recover them somehow? Once an account has been deleted, it's not possible to recover the account or the files it contained.

@"m-a-f" wrote:Ive tried to subscribe to the file in Google Calendar using the Drop Box sharelink, but the calendar events do not appear in the Calendar app. Change the ?dl=0 to ?raw=1 and try again. If that still doesn't work, keep in mind that Dropbox links redirect which might cause a problem with some services if…

@"alckc" wrote:Dropbox makes it almost impossible to cancel your subscription. There is not "cancel button" on the "Plan" tab. It's actually very simple to cancel a subscription or trial. Typically, if you don't see the Cancel option then either the account you're signed in to doesn't have a subscription, or the…

@"mattvinyl" wrote:I think those not getting the sharing link might not have the Dropbox app loaded. Could this be the problem? No, that wouldn't be the problem. The app has nothing to do with receiving links. The links should appear in their email, so verify that you have the correct email addresses. You could also just…

@"SharkWithLegs" wrote:Storage data is saying I have wayyy more than what I actually have. Check your Backups page.

@"lukevan" wrote:previously, one was able to right click in empty space on a folder and have the same commands show up that show when right clicking on a folder Dropbox doesn't control this; your operating system does. Dropbox has no control over how your clicks are interpreted. All Dropbox can do is register its options…

@"JCmk" wrote:As I explained, I have no "~/Library/CloudStorage" folder. Not /Library/CloudStorage under your user folder, but off the root of your drive. Expand the Library folder that's shown in your screenshot.

@"Jason D.8" wrote:Yes, that fixed it. Thanks. Then whatever software you're using is likely deleting the original file before saving the new version.

@"DREAMSLOTH" wrote:I was under the impression the account would exist in perpetuity even if the email is no longer in use. No, that's not accurate. You can sign in to a Dropbox account even if the email no longer exists (assuming you still know the password and there's no verification code sent to the email), but if the…

@"Dennis S.3" wrote:Are you saying that once the email address is changed to the temporary address, you can switch it then to the existing account, or do you mean transfer everything to the new "placeholder" email account? Once you change the first account to use the temporary email address, the original email address will…

@"equitone" wrote:I'm currently using less than 1GB, and think it must be something at the server end causing the problem. It won't be at the server end. Check your Backups page. If you have no backups and you've deleted files in your account, wait a few hours for your usage to be recalculated by Dropbox.

@"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…
