@"mchamoun12" wrote:If my collaborators that have shared access to these files attempt to access them, would that explain why they download locally to my computer again? If you mean shared through Dropbox using shared folders or links, then no, not at all. The comments above are referring to any process or application…

@"jazzmeg" wrote:When I try to open an excel file from Dropbox.com, why do I see only "Excel for web"? Why not see "Open in Excel" so that I can open the file locally? Is the file in the Dropbox folder on your computer, and syncing through the Dropbox app? The Open in Excel option is only available for files that exist in…

@"lancegeh" wrote:I upgraded to Professional. Why can't people stream videos that are longer than 60 minutes now? Sixty minutes is the limit for Plus, Family and Professional accounts. Business accounts have a four hour limit. * https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/photos/video-length

anonymous wrote:パスワードを再設定しようと思いましたが、二つとも同じメールアドレスでアカウントを作ったので、再設定していません。 同じメールアドレスで複数のアカウントを作成することはできません。 各Dropboxアカウントは、一意のメールアドレスを使用する必要があります。 2つ目のDropboxアカウントをお持ちの場合は、別のメールアドレスにあります。 それがどの電子メールであるかを把握し、その電子メールのパスワードをリセットします。

@"Judinelle" wrote:I cannot login my account, it shows that I entered invalid user information. Are you certain the email address and password you're entering are correct? Are you able to sign in on the Dropbox website using the same credentials?

@"emossi" wrote:Does anyone has a tip on how to avoid this? You usually can't avoid it. Most programs use the full path when linking or embedding another file, and moving either the main file or the linked files will break the links.

@"prohap2" wrote:Where can I find what file types are permitted to be stored in Dropbox and what types are not permitted? There are no restrictions on the types of files you can store in Dropbox. Some file types won't sync, but this isn't because they're restricted. It's because they're system files or other types that…

@"sheepdoll" wrote:So instead of a path on their end that was /Dropbox/myShare/ the path on their end is now /OtherShare/Dropbox/myShare/ That's likely part of the problem. Shared folders cannot be nested like that. It's probably best if your folder is unshared (assuming it still is), moved out of the other folder and then…

@"mariesofie" wrote:I just don't understand why there has to be a difference from iPad to computer... The mobile apps don't sync files like the desktop app on your computer does. The mobiles apps just show you a list of what's in your account, and allow you to view/download the files as you need them. This keeps the bulk…

@"Nigelng8988" wrote: After uploading files in folder, can I rearranging the files in the order I prefer them to be in? Like any file system, files are sorted by either file name, date, size, etc. If you want a specific order for your files, sort alphbetically and then rename your files so they appear in the order you wish.

@"TFlash" wrote:There is no way to tell how many files in a folder. It would be nice to be able to tell if all 250 images uploaded correctly by looking at how many are in the folder. Select all the files in the folder, and the number of selected files appears on teh right side of the page.

@"dominorodgers" wrote:While I can see that it says on my Personal files that I am the only member, assuming the client can't see the files ... They can't see your files normally, but if they're on a Business Advanced or Enterprise plan, then the team admin has the capability to sign in as you and would be able access your…

@"Christina07Frankfurt" wrote:I'm just confused why a new account is created for me. Because despite Google treating gmail.com and goolemail.com as the same account, they are, in fact, two different email addresses, and since Dropbox requires a unique email address for each account, they rightfully treat each email address…

@"FlavioTorelli" wrote: My desktop app shows a red 1 on its icon. What is this? You have a notification. Single-click the icon to open the Dropbox window, then go to the Notifications tab.

@"robschieren" wrote:Is there a way to contact Dropbox fraud/security to stop these emails from being sent from Dropbox or on behalf of Dropbox as the attachment is fraudulent and possibly a virus? Forward all details to abuse@dropbox.com.

@"Trish S.2" wrote:Using Dropbox Professional I've set a password for Folder but when I email link to myself (as a test) No password is required to get into folder Because you're logged into the account, and Dropbox knows it's you. If you want to test a link to see how it's received by someone other than you, you need to…

@"JLR-001" wrote:I'm uploading ... into his dropbox acocunt, my account should not have any bearing should it? You're not uploading into his account. You're uploading into a folder in your account, that happens to be shared with him. Since the folder exists in your account, it takes up space in your account. *…

@"gaspy" wrote:Is there a way to automate that? That's already how Dropbox works. As long as you have the Dropbox application installed on both computers, any changes made within the Dropbox folder on one computer are automatically synced to your account online, and then to the other comptuer.

@"LenaBayon" wrote: Voice recorder cant connect with dropbox to save my file You need to contact the creators of the Voice Recorder app. They need to apply for production status of their app so they can enable more users.

@"fbugay" wrote:If I change ownership will I free up space in the original dropbox account? Changing ownership doesn't free up space, because after changing ownership, the folder is still in your Dropbox. After changing ownership, if you no longer need the folder, you can remove yourself from the share and that will free…

@"shanen0" wrote:Apparently this was created in the installation process ... but I don't care much about figuring out such incompetence. You enabled the computer backup feature during the installation process. Reinstall Dropbox, allow everything to sync, then go into Dropbox Options and you can disable the feature. *…

@"Dylanmg" wrote:Dropbox has just started deleting most of my files and folders. It seems to have begun just after my external hard drive went offline, which is where I sync Dropbox to. And this is PRECISELY why external drives are not supported by Dropbox. If the drives goes offline while Dropbox is running, Dropbox just…

@"lk1701" wrote:Is there a way (trick, app, function) how I can upload files to my Dropbox via email? Dropbox has no such function, but there are a couple third-party services that can accomplish that. Do a Google search for "email files to Dropbox" and you'll find them.
