Rich Super User II

@"tothillesistvan" wrote: According that i thought there is a special way which gives sign from Pinterest to Dropbox, if someone opens the video link. And thought too that i can find any special function on Dropbox to get know that activity: who opened or who’s Pinterest user opened, when happened, how many times etc. No,…

@"ShanaC" wrote:Since I can't actually see the instructions on Dropbox, it's hard for me to know -- can you duplicate what the Mac advanced reinstall instructions No, I can't, but it's likely the same or similar to what Stefanie posted here. Again, this is old information and likely won't have an impact on the Dropbox…

@"vrenibc" wrote:OK, now I'm super confused. If I send a link to a folder that says I'm the only one who can view it, what and how do I need to change so the recipient can view it? Just ignore the column that says Only You. It doesn't apply to shared links. Refer to the link I provided above about Shared Links.

@"ShanaC" wrote:This article refers to the same problem -- and says it was solved by doing the advanced reinstall : I don't think that's going to solve this for you. With the new restriction from Apple, the /Dropbox folder is being moved to the CloudStorage folder and changing the location of your Dropbox folder is no…

@"vrenibc" wrote:When my screen says "Who Can Access", it says Only You. Does that mean that when they get the link, they won't be able to open the files? No. It means that the folder either isn't shared at all, or it's a shared folder with you as the only member. That column isn't related to shared links. It only applies…

@"Guppy" wrote:How do I find out which version of Dropbox I am running on my Windows 11 laptop? You can either hover cursor over the Dropbox icon in your system tray, or you can go into Preferences and see the version number on the General tab. And what is the latest version? You can find all the latest releases in the…

@"vrenibc" wrote:I've managed to upload the photographs into the folder, but how do I open it up so that more than just me can open the folder and view the pictures? Send them a shared link to the folder. * https://help.dropbox.com/share/create-and-share-link

@"ShanaC" wrote:How can I move my files out of my library and back to my user folder, so I can edit them? Why can't you edit files in that location? To the best of my knowledge, Dropbox can only reside in the Library folder moving forward. This is a restriction put in place by Apple. *…

@"JoshH_" wrote:I need to urgently contact Dropbox support regarding a serious security concern, but I can't find a phone number for contacting them without a business subscription. Can you please give me a method of contact a support member as soon as possible? There are no phone numbers to call, even for Business…

It probably is my mistake but not one I can afford. * https://help.dropbox.com/plans/cancel-free-trial Did you submit a ticket and did you receive a ticket number in email? If so, reply here with the ticket number and a Dropboxer…

@"Anderssssf" wrote:I have been looking through my backup and seems to find that dropbox backup finds random files, which only share the characteristics of having random names attached to them. Are you sure that these files aren't marked as hidden on your computer? Dropbox would still back them up, but you wouldn't be able…

@"niallcjackson" wrote:I cancelled successfully on the 30th day. If you cancelled on the last day, then the transaction was likely already sent for processing. With many subscriptions and trials (not just Dropbox), you typically need to cancel by at least 24 hours prior to the end of the trial or subscription to avoid…

@"Liz_raffly" wrote:The problem is when I browsed anything in laptop, all activity captured in it hence my storage suddenly was over capacity. It never happened before. You've enabled the Backup feature.

@"wwsande" wrote:So I tried to install Dropbox skipping the authentication as admin ... how can I use Dropbox in this situation, showing all files in a folder, but setting some to be stored online only. You likely won't be able to. In order for Dropbox to add the context menu items, it needs admin access during…

@"Osbourne" wrote: I received mail from @"Elise" and replied. So? What shall i do, what is your help? i am waiting for your advise. Wait for them to reply.

@"Osbourne" wrote: So its better to talk via email, not here. It depends on the issue. Your is an account related matter which would require personal information/details which can't be discussed in this PUBLIC forum. This is why email addresses and other personal information are removed from posts.

@"garethd" wrote:never assume too much about how much they know about their own migration tool!! It is Microsoft, after all (spoken with 30 years IT experience working with their garbage products). Good luck!

@"wwsande" wrote:But, when using my office computer, when I choose the folders I want to sync locally, all the files of the selected folders are downloaded, and this option doesn't appear to me when I right click the file. You don't need to run Dropbox as an admin. Dropbox will prompt for admin credentials if needed,…

@"garethd" wrote:We are attempting to migrate some data to Sharepoint using the Microsoft migration tool. Following a successful scan, we have a number of error reports ... This sounds like something you should be asking about on Microsoft's support forum. The people there would have more knowledge about their own tool.

@"N-Remote" wrote:I have windows 10 and i cannot see a folder which was shared with me in dropbox. Another colleague that has an iMac does see the folder but i do not see it. Rename the folder. The folder likely has a name using characters that are not compatible on a Windows operating system. macOS can use characters that…

@"CWayman" wrote: I am not storing these files in my Dropbox account. I have them on my hard drive. I want to upload them from my hard drive up to the organization Dropbox account into a folder the Executive Director kindly created for me. The files may not be in your Dropbox account now, but if you're a member of a shared…

@"esthera" wrote:I have a dropbox account and I'm uploading and copying pictures and documents to my account. ... The date of the pictures and documents changes in the date of today ... This is normal if you're uploading files to your account. The files are newly created on the Dropbox server, so their date will show the…

@"iasstudygroup" wrote:i am not deleting the file but Files in my dropbox are automatically deleted ... Dropbox can't delete files on its own. It's simply not capable of it. If a file is being deleted, then either you, another process on your device or someone else with access to the folder is deleting the file. Restore…

@"CWayman" wrote:I have numerous files to upload. So they would need to send me a file request for hundreds of files? They can send you a single file request and you can use it to upload multiple files. I don't see the logic in forcing me to have space in my personal account when I'm not storing the files in my personal…

@"TeeB" wrote:This is their response: you need to upload the images into a hoster and the hoster will return you an URL to insert into the CSV. That's the only way to put images into a CSV file. What they're likely referring to is uploading an image into your Dropbox storage, generating a shared link to that file, and…

@"midiman7472" wrote:The message when opening a file in the folder is 'this is a online only folder, please copy it to dropbox'. So I hope I am right that this has something to do with a Dropbox settings/permissions? It's not a settings or permissions issue. Dropbox has a feature that allows you to remove a file or folder…

@"tym07" wrote:Is there a way to downgrade the version of Dropbox on the computer. No, because even if you install the older version, it will automatically update almost immediately. I just updated to the newest version today (10/25/22), and the dropbox folder has disappeared from my desktop and is only available on cloud…

@"DV87" wrote:Personally, I'd prefer if my Dropbox would never automatically offload files that I've specifically chosen to download. Mark them as Available Offline and they'll never switch back to Online-only. Based on my Smart Sync preferences (screenshot below), it seems like files I've downloaded shouldn't be getting…
