Mark is correct. The notifications you would receive for a file being updated are desktop notifications and they aren't persistent. The notifications section within the Dropbox app is used for new shared folders, comments left on your files, etc., and not file updates. If you're on Windows 10, the Action Center might hold…

SteveInGB wrote:I effectively want to hide all other files and folders from a specific mobile device, how can this be done? It can't be. Accounts are not meant to be shared like that so there are no security settings on folders or options for hiding folders. A single Dropbox account is meant for an individual, so there…

You've misunderstood the purpose of Dropbox and how it works. Dropbox not a cloud-based folder or drive where your files are only stored online. It's a file synchronization service, meant to keep a copy of the files that you save on your local drive in-sync with the copy in your account and on any other linked computer.…

You'll want to enable the Camera Uploads feature within the Dropbox app on your phone. * https://help.dropbox.com/photos-videos/camera-uploads-overview

As has been stated, there is nothing to fix here. The preview of a video is just that; a preview. It is not intended to be the high-resolution original video that you uploaded. It is a transcoded preview of the original file, limited to 15 minutes of playback. If you want to see the original video in its original quality,…

That's why there's the Sharing page, so you can see and access everything that has been shared with you. Also, inviatations don't work like they did previously. Before, when you invited someone to a shared folder, they had to accept the invitation before they were a member. Now, as soon as you invite someone they have…

The RSS link was once found on the Events page, but with the redesign of the site it seems to have been removed. Even the link to the Events page itself is gone, though the page is still acecssible. Mention of the RSS feature was removed from the help center long ago, so the feature was likly deprecated back then and…

It doesn't work that way anymore. When you invite someone, they have access, period. They have the ability to leave* and join the share at will, until they remove it from their Dropbox or you remove them from the share. You can see that they're a member, but you can't see when they leave or join in (until they remove it…

Make sure that your existing Dropbox folder is in a location that both operating systems can access. If needed, use Dropbox to move the Dropbox folder to the a location. Once Dropbox is in a common location, install Dropbox on the second OS. Towards the end of the install process you'll see an Advanced Options link. Click…

Dropbox can't determine what is a photo from your camera or an image from any other app. It simply uploads any images that it finds in the camera roll (iOS) or the gallery (Android). If you don't want Dropbox to upload them, then turn off the option in WhatsApp to automatically save images that you receive.

The "error" in your screenshot isn't the actual error. It's the test file that contains the error message. Open that file in a text editor and past the content here.

You should be able to see any changes on your Events page.

When you renamed the files, you removed the file extension. Please read this entire page.

The only time referral space is removed from an account is when it has been determined that a referral had been earned through illegitimate means. When that happens, all referral space is usually removed. The only way to know the actual cause is to contact Support. Open your ticket here: https://www.dropbox.com/support…

Your inability to understand what is clearly stated does not make it illegal or misleading. Note: Your other two posts were flagged as spam due to the external links.

What you're seeing when you open a PDF in Dropbox (in the app on your phone or on the web) is just a preview of the file. Open the PDF in Adobe or another app that supports PDF files.

Jonathan H.1 wrote:... there's no way to generate links from within Explorer/Finder any more Yes, there is. When you right-click on a file, Copy Dropbox link will create a share link to the file and place it in your clipboard. Paste it where you need it and change ?dl=0 if needed.
