@"Osbourne" wrote: Thank you very much for your answers, Rich. But how can I contact support? They don't have any contacts. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for log-in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to…

@"Osbourne" wrote: The thing is that i did not change the password and i remember it. I know, that it is correct. Passwords periodically expire. This is why it's important to always have a valid email address on any account you use. They are often the only means of getting back in if you ever gain access, and I'm not just…

@"Osbourne" wrote: But how can I enter my account now? If you don't remember your password or it's expired, you can't. You'll need access to the email account. Perhaps you can contact the mail provider and ask that they reactivate the mail account. You can try contacting Support, but they likely won't give you access to…

@"Osbourne" wrote: So, i need Dropbox to change primary email in my profile as it does not exist anymore. They won't do that. If you don't have access to the email address associated with your Dropbox account, and you're not able to sign in due to a forgotten or expired password, then there's no way to gain access to the…

@"FIREALARM" wrote:With ShareFile it would automatically sync any updated file upon connecting to the network. Is there a setting im missing to achieve the same with Dropbox? * https://help.dropbox.com/sync/access-files-offline

@"SweetTasha" wrote:I'd like to personalize my appearance in the community. I'm thinking I can simply upload an image and paste it into my avatar. Is one permited to change the username? Click your avatar and select My settings. I took care of the username change for you.

@"sudhanshu_cma" wrote:Dropbox can think of a plan starting with lower spaces say 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, etc. Dropbox has trialed smaller plans in the past, with little success. There's likely a post in the Share an Idea section asking for this same thing again. You can add your reply there, or start your own if the idea is…

@"iamveryconfused12" wrote:... I had something sent to me via Dropbox. Never had anything sent before so I wasn't sure if this was a phishing attempt. It could be a fake phishing email with a spoofed sender address (very easy to do) or (most likely) it could be a phishing attempt that's just using Dropbox as the transfer…

@"langshipley" wrote:Hi, yes. I am on Windows 11. Was Dropbox already installed on the computer when you updated to Windows 11, or was Dropbox installed after the computer was already on Windows 11?

@"dazonic" wrote: I’ve got a folder on my Mac in the home directory, ~/Code is there any way to include this in backup? No. You would need to move the folder into your Dropbox folder so it can sync.

@"tonysf" wrote:... I changed the name of my home folder + user account in macOS. ... it should not be looking in /Users/(OLDER USER FOLDER NAME)/.dropbox anymore, I don't understand why it thinks this folder even still exists if I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 3 times? You need to perform a complete…

@"RTCJR" wrote:Since the latest Dropbox update (from when I was prompted to take a tour), my syncing icons have changed disappeared and replaced with white Xs on the files. Dropbox doesn't use a white X overlay on the icons. That's likely from OneDrive. Microsoft has a limit to how many icon overlays can be registered (15,…

@"Selkie1" wrote:I created my first shared folder today. Then I started uploading a folder of picturess onto it. I only wanted to share a handful out of the origin folder. ... How do I stop the upload onto this shared folder? How did you add the files to the shared folder? Are you using the local Dropbox folder on your…

@"martinware" wrote:I've explained that the email address is no longer accessible - so I can change the unknown password because the auto reply goes to the unaccessible email address. And that's the issue. Without access to the email address, there's no way to gain access to an account. The email address is the only way to…

@"IT Guy" wrote: How do I specify the local location (outside normal dropbox) for a folder that was shared with me? You can't. Dropbox will only sync files and folders that are located within the Dropbox folder. You can move a file or folder outside of the Dropbox folder, but it will stop syncing and before removed from…

@"MoPo" wrote: I have a terabyte of data accessible online with dropbox. I have a download internet speed of 200 mbps. How long would it take to download the date and make the files available offline? No one can answer that. There are too many variables that affect the speed of a file transfer. Your computer, your network,…

@"Soronto" wrote:I had an account in school under a school email address that is now deactivated. I did not realize that they would deactivate my email address so quickly and did not download the files from dropbox in time, and I am no longer able to log in.

@"EBAngeletti" wrote:Is this still the case with trying to add links within a Microsoft doc? Thanks! If you're referring to embedded file links within Office documents, yes.

@"susanvg" wrote: Why did my previous two helpers not know this? Why would Dropbox do this without a warning? If you're referring to your other thread, you mentioned that you could see the files in your account before they disappeared. Perhaps they believe it's a different scenario. When an account is going to be deleted…

@"CWayman" wrote:I was sent a link to the Native Americans folder. ... I am allowed to download the files in the folder, or save the files to my own account.

@"blings" wrote:Last signed in 2020. No documents on event page. is there away I can retrieve all the douments back? If you haven't signed in since 2020 then the account was most certainly deleted due to inactivity and you're now signed in to a new, empty account.
