The files shown on the Preview page are just that; a transcoded preview. To see the document in its original form, you need to open it in the appropriate application.

You need to open the file in an application that is capable of editing that particular file type. For PDF, that would usually be Adobe Acrobat or a third-party PDF editor.

An incorrect date and time are not the only cause of not being able to make a connection to Dropbox. There could be a firewall that is blocking the traffic (perhaps by that zealous corporate security team), antivirus, and many other reasons. Simply put, something either on your computer or on your network is blocking…

You have to connect your personal and Business accounts first, then you can have both syncing to the same computer. * https://help.dropbox.com/account/two-accounts

As soon as a file in your Dropbox folder is changed, it's synced to your account online in real-time.

It's not just Logic Pro files, or Mac. I have a Windows 10 laptop. I set the everything in Dropbox to be Online Only. After hours of indexing and syncing, the process completed but there was still more than 10GB of files stored locally (not counting the cache folder). These files and folders were clearly marked as Local,…

Select the file by checking the box to the left, then select Delete in the menu on the right.

Did you upgrade to a paid account on a mobile device, i.e. through Apple's App store or Google Play? If so, you need to manage your subscription through the store you subscribed in. Otherwise, contact Support and they'll assist with canceling your account. If you just want to downgrade, you could just try the Downgrade…

The options available are to either download the entire folder or each file individually. There is no way to select multiple files within a folder that was shared using a link.

Starring a file only makes it appear on your home page for quick access. There's no way to select all or filter on all starred files.

And Thunderbird supports IMAP configurations, which allows your local client to read messages and the current state of your threads directly from the server. Configure each computer to use IMAP and they'll all read the current state of your mail account directly, with no need to sync data across another service. Read a…

I think your deciding factor will be that you can't buy a single license on a business account. It's minimum three, so you'll be paying for two licenses that you aren't using. If Smart Sync is your main requirement, just go with Professional.

Mark is 100% correct regarding this. Dropbox has and continues to remove space from accounts where referrals are suspicious in nature. The referral system is intended for one person to refer another. Using it to gain extra space by referring yourself goes against its intended use. At a minimum you can have your space…

You won't find a site that supports viewing an .EXE file online. That's an executable file that needs to be downloaded and run on the local computer. Also, it will likely be limited to Windows computers only. In order to host something like that online, and make it as compatible as possible, you'll want to find a web-based…

These would be desktop notifications, and depending on your operating system, they may not be persistent. That means if you're not at your computer to see the notification arrive, you would miss it. That's how it is on Windows 7. On Windows 10, if you have notifications enabled, the notifications will persist in the Action…

Dropbox doesn't have a feature to find duplicate files. You'll need to use a third-party utility and run it against the Dropbox folder on your computer, assuming you're syncing all of your files to your computer.

Likely because you're trying to preview a file that doesn't exist on your computer. When you set a file to Online Only, the only thing that's left of that file on your computer is the necessary information to make it appear in the folder. Since there's no content in the file, your OS (nor any other program) is able to…
