If the folder is larger than either of…

@"kathkath" wrote:I did not delete any files but my dropbox was cleared. I contacted the support but failed many times to help me. Dropbox doesn't (and can't) clear your files like that. Look at your Events page for any deletion events to get an idea of what might have happened. Restore one of the files and look at its…

@"Jens Jensen" wrote:This operation itself seems to be easy and straight forward, but first I need to know if there are any unwanted side effects of doing so ?

@"ads1212" wrote: Let’s keep on topic. It is on topic. I pointed out a way to help determine if what you received is a legitimate email or not. I'd check carefully because it's looks identical to a real one, such as this: Yes, it could be fake, but the only way to tell is if you check where the links are actually pointing…

@"ads1212" wrote: I’m not stupid enough to click a link on a suspected scam email You don't have to click on a link in an email to know where it points to. Just hover your cursor over it.

@"ads1212" wrote:Yesterday I received this scam email purporting to be Dropbox. I was initially freaked out by receiving this but when I checked Dropbox online, no files had been deleted. Was it actually a scam email, where the links within it went to a scam site, or does it actually look legitimate? Also, have you moved…

@"trongo" wrote:So you know, between "(1) move it into your Dropbox folder replacing the original, or (2) using the Dropbox website to upload it over the original," only (2) works.

@"trongo" wrote: The question is: how to EASILY update or replace a file and keep its share link the same but now points to the new file (not the original file). The EASY answer is just overwrite the existing file without deleting it and the link will remain the same, but it's not as simple as that anymore. Some…

@"Mark" wrote:I'm afraid you cant. Windows on Surface's dont allow installs like a 'normal' computer. @"noid2594" Mark is correct. The specific issue is that the Microsoft Surface computers run on an ARM processor, and ARM processors will not run the typical applications that you would use on a computer with an Intel or…

@"theactualangie" wrote:How can I adjust whatever settings need to be adjusted, so that I have the option to click a Dropbox link and open the folder in Finder? Has that ever been an option? Dropbox links have always opened in a browser because they're links to a website. To the best of my knowledge, you could never click…

@"Delanoble" wrote:I am using the web version and since a week i cant middle scrollwheel click anything anymore to open it in a new tab. CTRL + Left mouse click is also quite broken. Still working fine for me. I'd clear your browser's cache/browsing history and try again, or try another browser.
