"Files" is an Apple app in and of itself (part of iOS 11) that allows you to connect to other cloud storage systems all in a single app. You can add your Dropbox account to it (along with other cloud service accounts) and access them all…

Are the folders empty if you sign in to your account on the Dropbox website?

@"lp2" I've merged your post into another thread regarding this issue. Please try @"Frank_S"'s suggestion above, and reply back is you still have a problem.

Eliminate your router and plug the computer directly into the modem, assuming they're separate devices. If you have an ISP that gives you those ****** combined modem/router devices, then the neighbor or your in-laws will be a better and easier test.

It's likely a feature in testing and not yet available outside of the beta.

If it works on your friend's computer, then the problem is likely something on your computer. Possibly an add-on or extension that you're running in your browsers. The ability to select all files works just fine, as seen in the screenshots above. Also note that Dropbox only provides phone support for Dropbox Business…

If he can't even connect to the Dropbox website, the application version wouldn't matter. The fact that the website works when he opens TOR indicates a likely network issue. Something on the network is blocking all connections to Dropbox. Is this a corporate network? If so, you should contact your IT group to see if…

What version of the app are you using, and on what platform? I'm using a beta version on iOS, and on the screen where you name the file and select PNG or PDF, there's an image quality slider with three settings from Low Quality/Small File Size to High Quality/Large File Size.

When a file is marked as online only, if that file is accessed, Dropbox will download the file and mark it as Local. This is how you're able to open a file that's marked as online only. Best guess, BackBlaze is trying to access the file to back it up, so Dropbox is downloading it and marking it as Local again. You'll…

When that happens, rename the Dropbox folder to Dropbox2 or similar. Reinstall…

@"Dianehelen" wrote: I guess drop box automatically zips a shared folder, when it needs to be downloaded by someone it was shared to right? You can't download a folder through a browser, and that's nothing to do with Dropbox. Unless you're using a download manager, your web browser only handles single files. To get around…

Dropbox has never had the ability to show who has viewed a file. There is the ability to leave a comment on a file, which would obviously indicate that they have viewed it (you have to view to be able to comment), but that is not a valid indicator of everyone that may have viewed the file. That information is simply not…

Dropbox doesn't provide timelines or really any information on what features it may or may not be considering. We likely won't know if they plan on adding native PDF support until they actually add it or announce it. I'll move this thread to the feature requests area so others can request it as well.

The ability to edit is only available when sharing a folder. If you're sharing a file only, the view option will be the only one available. If you need to give edit access to a file, put the file in a folder and share the folder.

The files aren't on the computer so your backup software can't back them up. If it tries to access the files, Dropbox is likely bringing them local just like it's supposed to do (no different from when you access a file that's Online Only; it's downloaded). Dropbox likely can't differentiate between you accessing a file or…

@"Jane" Although @"pbuckland" uses the phrase "selective sync" I don't believe he's referring to the actual Selective Sync feature within Dropbox. I believe his complaint is that even though he has his entire Dropbox set to Online Only, new folders that are added within a share are still being downloaded to his computer. I…

There's nothing outlined here as it's not a supported configuration. It likely involves creating symlinks to the original folder location within the sync folder of the storage service. Symlinks are also not supported within Dropbox as Dropbox is not able to sync their content in real-time (the operating system doesn't…

It's highly not recommended to have two separate sync services, regardless of which ones, syncing the same data locations. As you've discovered, sync errors are bound to occur. It's possible, but highly problematic and is completely unsupported.

If you have a Business account, it will be available through the support tools in your Admin console. If you have a Personal account that includes chat support, you can just go to the usual Support URL and the Live Chat option will be listed if it's available to you. * https://www.dropbox.com/support

All of the share links you posted (the first three are valid) work just fine, so there's no problem with the links themselves. If the link with ?raw=1 does not work within the application, then you'll need to contact Magento Support. My guess is that the application doesn't accept URLs that don't end in a recognizable file…

And just to add... I don't think upgrading to Business will help. It might have provided more information had you already had a Business account before the item was shared, but that information will not be available retroactively.

Password protecting your computer user account is the ONLY solution you should consider. If your computer user account is not protected then all of your files anywhere on your computer are accessible, along with the Dropbox application preferences. If you don't protect your user account and instead rely on security by…

You will not lose any earned space by changing your email address.

Do you have either a Professional account or a Business account that has opted in to Early Access? Smart Sync is only available in those cases. For Professional accounts, you can just right-click a file or folder and you'll see a Smart Sync option with selections for Local and Online Only. The same holds true for Business…

When you delete your account, it's gone immediately. It cannot be recovered. Dropbox will never use your files. Please stop asking the same question over and over again or you could find that your posts are removed.

You need to provide more information about how you're trying to access the files before anyone will know how best to help you.
