It's indexing all of the files in your folder and comparing them to the content of your account online.

There really isn't a need for this as deleted files do not take up space in your account. If you really want to delete the files in Deleted Files, you can follow the steps to permanently delete them, about half way down the following help article. * https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/delete-files-on-computer

Dropbox will upload whatever version of the photo is in your camera roll. Normally that's the original, unedited photo. If iCloud changes that somehow, and I don't see why that would happen, then Dropbox will upload whatever version of the photo is there. This sounds more like a question for Apple, in that you're asking…

Tous les fichiers stockés dans votre dossier Dropbox seront automatiquement synchronisés tant que vous auriez l'application Dropbox en cours d'exécution. Vous devriez voir une icône Dropbox dans votre bac système (Windows) ou la barre de menus (Mac) lorsque Dropbox est en cours d'exécution. En outre, travailler sur une…

It's very possible, just not supported or recommended. Install Dropbox and use the Advanced Options to specify the location for your Dropbox folder. Allow it to sync completely. Boot into the other operating system and install Dropbox, again using Advanced Options to specify the same Dropbox folder. Dropbox will index your…

Files uploaded to Dropbox are uploaded in their original resolution. If you're viewing these files through the Dropbox website, then what you're seeing is just a preview of the original file. The original, unmodified file will be seen in its full resolution when downloaded and opened on a computer.

Thanks, @"RichardDBX". Very helpful and much appreciated!

The Public Folder feature is being removed for all accounts, not just Basic/Free, but it is an old feature that was replaced long ago. The new method is to use a Share Link to the file or folder that you wish to share. * https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/view-only-access

Dropbox has no such functionality. There are some third-party utilities that can accomplish this, but they are not supported. Try a Google search instead.

If a file or folder returns when you delete it, it's because it was unable to be deleted on one of your connected devices. You delete a file on computer A. Dropbox is informed that it has been deleted and syncs that change to your account. Dropbox on your other devices is notified that the file has been deleted, so they…

You need to understand how Dropbox sees things. A rename of a file or folder is seen as a deletion of the old and an addition of the new. Dropbox sees that Folder1 no longer exists and that Folder2 does. It can only assume that one has been deleted and the other added. As it's indexing the files in the "new" folder it will…

Since this is happening when you download the file and open it locally, it won't have anything to do with Dropbox. Make sure you have an appropriate video player installed, and if necessary, the proper codec for the…

If they have Dropbox installed on their computer, they'll also receive a desktop notification if they have them enabled (and they are, by default). They will also see a notification if they log into the Dropbox website.

Invitations no longer work that way. They don't need to be accepted. Once you invite someone, they have access to the folder and are able to add or remove it from their Dropbox account at will. They're either a member or they aren't.

I think you're looking for the Events page. The link to it has been removed, but the page still exists. * http://www.dropbox.com/events

Dropbox has trialed lower cost plans many times over the years, and they have never been financially feasible. I wouldn't count on this ever happening.

Matt, refer to my reply above. It no longer works that way. As soon as you invite someone to a shared folder, they have access. There is no longer a need to accept the invitation.

Do you have the Dropbox client installed on your computer? If so, then your files will be syncing to your computer. They'll be in the Dropbox folder. Just copy them to your external drive like you would any other file. If you're not already syncing your files and you just use the Dropbox website, then you'll need to…

It's on your Account page. Click the View all space earned link.
