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. I updated to iOS 12.1.4 and started having the same issues listed in this thread; I wasn't able to open Office files from Dropbox and when I disconnected Dropbox from Office, I wasn't able…

@"Invader_ZIM" wrote:Although Walter's right that this is really a question for Yahoo!, not Dropbox, how frustrating that they won't acknowledge that this is obviously a problem tons of people are experiencing. Because it's not their problem to acknowledge. They can't do anything to resolve it as the problem is with Yahoo.…

@"WeedMonkey" wrote:According to Dropbox support article, I should see an "edit" icon (pencil-and-paper icon) when I open a Microsoft Office document from within the Dropbox Mobile app on my iPad Pro.

The Dropbox-generated portion of a share link will always be the same length. You can, however, run the link that Dropbox gives you through a link shortening service, such as bit.ly or…

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.

There's no need to change the location of your Dropbox folder if all you're doing is backing up your Dropbox. You would only do that if your intent was to move the Dropbox folder to a new location permanently. You do, however, need to have all your files local before you could copy them to another location for backup.…

That won't do you any good. There are so many things that affect speed that you could have two people with an identical setup and still have wildly different speeds. Your computer, your local network, your ISP, the route your traffic takes to get to Dropbox, the Dropbox network and servers, congestion along any part of the…

When you're looking at the numbers, make sure you're comparing apples to apples, and not oranges. The speed from your ISP is likely listed in Kb/s or Mb/s; megabits. The speeds reported by Dropbox are in KB/s or MB/s; bytes. You need to do the conversion before you can simply compare them. Also, the speed you see from…

Just remember that if anyone renames any shared folder that you're trying to link to, the path will still fail. Anyone can rename a shared folder and it will only be renamed for…

Dropbox has been moving away from photo management over the last several years. Every good feature they've ever had that made managing and sharing photos easy and sensible has been removed. They even shut down their companion app, Carousel, which was meant specifically for photo management. Dropbox is no longer the best…

@"mikkelHC" wrote:How would i send a path to my coworker that he/she can copy to his file explorer and it will direct him to the correct path? Dropbox has no such function. The path to a file on your computer will not be the same as the path to a file on someone else's computer, even if that file is in the same folder…

Short answer... no. And remember that the path to a file on your computer will not be the same as the path to a file on someone else's computer, even if that file is in the same shared folder. By default, each user's Dropbox folder is located within their computer user profile, which often include that person's name or…

More than likely the files in question were the dot underscore ( ._ or AppleDouble) files that OS X or macOS create on non-native drive partitions. It's not an issue to be resolved because everything is working as it should. The files are created by the operating system, Dropbox sees them and syncs them as it's supposed…

It's this icon...

Collaboration is about working with others, which is the entire point of a Shared Folder within the Dropbox environment. It doesn't make sense, in the intended use, to hide the members of a shared folder from one another.

The only response I have is that if you feel the need to play Internet Police on a topic that's nearly a year old, next time, look more closely at your own replies before hitting that Reply button. I'll leave you to find the error. Considering you were able to find my use of "bandwidth" on a post that was buried, it should…

Yes, I know, but in the way it has been described by Dropbox, both on these forums and within their own help articles, it's a daily bandwidth limit; not a transfer limit. For the sake of keeping the verbage the same, on these forums, I describe it as such. Your average user that's asking about such limits isn't going to…

Last I saw, even when installed normally (not as a service), the Dropbox app wasn't running correctly on server-based Windows operating systems. It used to work, but I believe some application dependencies changed which aren't part of the more modern server operating systems, and that broke Dropbox on those systems. Maybe…

Sign-in to the Dropbox website, find the folder in your your Files list, and click the Share button to the right of it. The sharing options for that folder, along with a list of members, will open.

@"COuser" wrote:You can then edit in Pixlr and save back to Dropbox Or most any image editor available for the device in question. The point being that Dropbox isn't a photo editor.

No one here can do that for you. If you're part of a Business team, then only the Team Admin within your organization can initiate that. They have the ability to covert your account, or they can contact Support directly to have it converted. [This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you're experiencing…

@"AnthonyDal" wrote:Is there a way to embedd my upload link to my dropbox within an HTML friendly text box? No, there isn't. The Dropbox website cannot be embedded in your own page. Your best course of action would be to create a File Request, and then link to it within your HTML document.
