@"andreasfmpro" wrote:I am very much concerned that they will carry out their threats and disable my account even though I am not over my quota. Dropbox does not, and never has, done that.

@"andreasfmpro" wrote:How do I get them to STOP sending me these bogus email messages, leave me alone, and maintain my free account without fear of losing my files? I will NOT be blackmailed by ANYONE, including Dropbox! You're not being blackmailed, you won't lose your files, and the only thing that will happen is you…

@"George A." wrote:The only option I see on the Backups tab pertaining to this External Drives Backups "Feature" is to "Show setup notifications when new external drives drives are plugged in" which doesn't sound like disabling the "Feature" PERMANENTLY. That is exactly how you disable it. By disabling the setup…

@"SteveDreaming" wrote:Does the recipient of a shared folder have to pay for Dropbox capacity to be able to read a folder? Yes, because when you invite someone to a shared folder they're not accessing the folder in your account. They get their own copy of the folder in their account, and need to have enough available space…

@"Tom40" wrote: On both my laptop and mobile phone, the video (video taken with my iPhone11) I uploaded on Dropbox are not nice/clear (blurred). How come ? Can you solve this? As Jay mentioned, Dropbox doesn't alter your files. It doesn't (and can't) make your videos blurry when you upload them. If they're blurry in…

@"VineDrop" wrote:I have literally nothing in my box! I have some things in my shared folder, but nothing that wasn't there when I started moving things, and none of them uploaded into the box.

@"MuraliKarthikeyan" wrote:Does dropbox provide an option to hide this icon from the menu bar in someway. No. The icon is used to access the Dropbox application, and to show you the current status of your files.

@"kkcljanice" wrote:There is now a brown storage box icons next to the dropbox files, but no options to smart sync neither. That's not a Dropbox icon. It's likely from OneDrive or some other cloud application, and it's probably interfering with Dropbox.

@"jjoni" wrote:I followed the online instruction - logged into my account > opened setting> opened "plan", but at the bottom of this page, I don't see "cancel subscription" option.

@"Black Pantry " wrote:I have had my account deleted and need my files back Typically, once an account has been deleted it's not possible to recover the account or the files that were in it.

@"J3wil" wrote: I am using over 1TB for storage. Will I lose & have to reupload everything? No. Syncing will stop until you resubscribe (because you'll be over quota), but your files will not be deleted and you won't have to reupload anything.

@"basheer" wrote: can we recover a deleted personal account from dropbox If you deleted the account or it if was deleted due to inactivity, no, it cannot be recovered. If the account was part of a Business team and deleted within the last 7 days, the team admin might be able to restore it.

@"J3wil" wrote: I can’t find any info on if it’s possible to cancel my mobile subscription (Apple) & switch to a website subscription without deleting my Dropbox Plus account.

@"marknorgate" wrote:Bottom line: is it possible to configure this name on macOS and, if so, how? No. Originally, the folder included the name of the computer being backed up. Now, the folder will simply be called PC or Mac, with a number being added for each new device of that type that is being backed up.

@"silverpan" wrote:Is there any feature in the pipeline which will allow a dropbox transfer link to be automatically created when a new file or subfolder is added to a folder in dropbox?

YOU see that when you're testing a link because you're signed in to Dropbox and Dropbox knows it's you, so you see your entire account. Anyone else…

@"Noelle7" wrote:We supposedly have unlimited space, but I kept getting "disk too full" messages. I found out that dropbox was saving everything locally ... "Disk too full" is referring to your local hard drive, and not the amount of storage you have in your Dropbox account. If you're putting files in your local Dropbox…
