@"Gus_O_o" wrote:When Dropbox is paused - The issue doesn't happen. When Dropbox is active - The issue does happen. To say that this issue has nothing to do with Dropbox at all seems a little dismissive to me. You're not understanding the cause. Of course it happens when Dropbox isn't paused, because Dropbox is syncing…

@"lennykoy" wrote:I've unchecked it, restarted the desktop app, and it is still the same after. @"MarkRM" is correct. Disabling the setting just prevents you from getting new early release versions going forward. You need to remove the beta and install a stable version of the Dropbox app.

@"Adam110" wrote: I have basic Dropbox, how do I hide my photo info (camera, settings etc) when sending pics? Thank you. That information is embedded within the file itself. Dropbox has no way to hide it. Find a utility that can strip the metadata (EXIF data) from your images before you upload them to Dropbox.

@"mbtahdrop" wrote:thanks. So some sort of invitation IS needed. Answers my question, thanks. For a shared folder, yes. If you just want to send them files, they can send you a File Request.

@"t3ddyb3ar" wrote:How do I set it up so that the newest machine of the 3 is the "Master" and the other 2 older machine are the "Slaves"? Dropbox doesn't work that way. There is no master or slave.

@"Balawayne" wrote:So what is the solution for this? What can I do? Unfortunately, nothing. @"Mark" is correct. Without your emergency backup codes there's no way to access the account. Even Dropbox won't help you gain access. It would be a serious security issue if they did.

This wouldn't prevent them from being able to take screenshots of the previews though I'm afraid. @"davidlpittmanjr" Not only that, but you can easily download the photo preview (not the original, by the way Dropbox works), even with downloads disabled. It only takes a couple of seconds to bypass it. Remember, the Internet…
