What was the original name of the folder? It was likely using a character that's considered illegal on your operating system, so Dropbox wasn't able to create it locally.

That link works fine. If the link isn't working on whatever platform you're trying to use it on, they they likely don't support URLs that don't end in a proper image extention. In such cases you won't be able to use Dropbox to host the image. [This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you're…

@"Noelle N." wrote:... I see that the deleted file is reappearing from the "API app". What does that mean?

For the hosting of an image, the information above is incomplete. A share link to a file will open in the Dropbox preview page. Using those links in an <img> tag will result in broken imaged. You need to change the ?dl=0 at the end of the link to ?raw=1. Just know that some platforms will still reject such links because…

Are you using BitLocker or any other type of encryption on the drive? In the Linux world where ext4 is the supported file system for Dropbox, ext4 with encryption gives the same message (unsupported file system).

No, that's not possible. All devices linked to an account will upload to the same Camera Uploads folder. You could create two folders and move your photos to your own folder as soon as you're done uploading, leaving the Camera Uploads folder empty until the next upload.

No, there isn't, and there really shouldn't be. Not everyone has a conenction that can handle streaming of HD content, and forcing that on a viewer could cause problems or present a negative experience for them.

Any video that is previewed from Dropbox directly will be a transcoded version of the original, which plays in a lower quality and is time limited based on your account level (maximum of 15 minutes, 1 hour or 4 hours). The only way to view the original version of a video is to download it and play it locally. You can…

@"Dgmtexas" wrote:... I get "This operation isn't permitted", I'm the owner of this account You're the owner of the account, but are you the owner of the folder, and if not, do you have edit permissions to the folder? Unless you have been given edit access to a shared folder, you won't be able to delete the files within.

It's the Screenshots option, which you already have unchecked. Just have SnagIt re-capture the Print Screen key and you should be all set. If Dropbox keeps offering to save screenshots, go back to this screen, check the Screenshots box and click Apply, then uncheck it and click Apply again. Then have SnagIt grab the key.

The only key that I"m aware of Dropbox using is Print Screen. It's associated with screenshots being saved to Dropbox. You'll need to disable screenshots in Dropbox Preferences, on the Import tab, then recapture the Print Screen key within SnagIt.

Did you join the Business team using your existing account? Do you only have one email address that you use with Dropbox? If so, then your personal account would have been merged into the Business team, and your personal account no longer exists. It's now a part of the team and owned by the company. If that's the case,…

What I'm telling you, "mate," is that you need to understand what that speed is referring to, and not just compare it to a transfer speed you get from another service that doesn't do the same chunking of files that Dropbox has to do before transferring anything. I'm not saying Dropbox is faster or even as fast as other…

@"LP_DB" wrote:My uploads and downloads cap out at 13.5MBps. That's the equivalent of a 108Mbps connection, which is fast. Again, remember, that's NOT just the transfer speed to/from Dropbox. That's the speed in which your files are processed, start to finish, with all the hashing, compressing, encrypting, etc., that takes…

Click the Billing tab at top of the page. If you don't have a Billing tab then you're either not on a paid subscription, or you started your subscription through the Apple or Google Play stores, in which case you need to contact them.

I did some testing this morning. I hadn't yet updated to the latest iOS version, and Dropbox and Office were still working just fine.

Are you able to browse to the Dropbox website? Have you tried a different network conenction, or plugged your computer directly into your cable modem or other network device (bypassing any router you may be using)? Something, either on your computer or on your local network, is blocking Dropbox.

There really isn't anything for Dropbox to resolve here as the SmartSync feature is working as intended. Files marked as Online-only will be automatically downloaded back to the computer when they're accessed. Dropbox can't tell if it's you opening a file, an antivirus app scanning a file or a backup process backing up…

Something is blocking Dropbox's access to the Internet. Temporarily disable any firewall or antivirus software you're running, and try again.
