Were you both on the same network when they accepted the referral? That often triggers the ineligible status.

Another option is a third-party transfer service, such as MultCloud, but you would need to pay for that service. Personally, I'd use either Cyberduck or Mountain Duck (similar to ClountMounter) to open the storage in each service and then copy the files myself.

Rongal wrote:I want to delete selected directories from the Dropbox backup. How can i delete them and retrieve Dropbox backup memory space? I may be wrong as I don't use that feature very often, but I don't think that's possible. You can delete the entire backup, but you can't delete selected files or folders within a…

outbacktommy wrote:If I delete them, will they be deleted from the person that shared them too? To be clear, if you delete the files within the shared folder, they WILL be deleted from the person that shared the folder with you. If you just delete the entire folder like Dell suggested, the files will not be deleted for…

Frank P E. wrote:other than dbxcli is there any other way to do it maybe with switches on dropbox.exe? There are no switches for dropbox.exe to pause or resume syncing, and no way to control that programmatically.

Frank P E. wrote:Is there an option for the dbxcli will support a pause and resume syncing? You'd need to discuss that on the GitHub page for the project as dbxcli is not an official Dropbox project.

mducharme wrote:The question is, how did that end up getting wrong in the first place? This isn't a Dropbox issue. It's just something that happens with the Windows icon cache. I see it often on the systems I support across multiple companies.

mducharme wrote:... the Dropbox icon itself is wrong in Explorer for my Dropbox folder. It is just showing a plain white piece of paper. This is usually a result of a bad icon cache in Windows. I'd try to clear the icon cache and then restart the computer.

KComms wrote:If I can download it...I should be able to delete it and make room for other data. You absolutely can delete your files, whether they're files that you're syncing normally, or a backup that you've made. There are just different ways depending on what you're doing. Can you provide some details into what exactly…

Dropbox doesn't generate direct download links, but you can modify a regular shared link into a direct download link. First, create a shared link using the normal…

In addition to Dell's questions, is this a single Dropbox account that two people are sharing (which would be against the terms of use), or does each person have their own account and you're sharing a folder between the two accounts?

You're paying for more than just storage with the business plans. Moving from the 2TB plan to the 3TB plan gets you more than just a…

The price per TB is $5/TB for the 2TB plan and $5.50/TB for the 3TB plan The 3TB plan, which is called Professional and geared towards business users, also includes more features, a longer recovery period for deleted files, branding and more.

Dropbox will only sync the files that are located in the Dropbox folder. It can't sync files from other locations on your computer. You would need to find a third-party utility that can sync local…

There's nothing in Dropbox that can do that but you can probably do it easily if you're syncing all of those folders to your computer. If so, you can just do a search of your local Dropbox…
