I can reproduce this, but only in IE. In Firefox and Chrome it's working fine. Also, the link you posted is still invalid. Here's one of mine if you want to test it. * https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y2ott3dldz8ddt0/AAAUkXHe2X8c_HdEVCvbmkzsa?dl=0

I've seen this before, and have done it myself a few times. Dropbox has the ability to save URLs that you drag into its window. That's all that's happening here. You're intending to click on something, whether to view or select, while you're still moving your mouse. Your browser sees this as a click and drag, and Dropbox…

El administrador del sistema obviamente ha habilitado una directiva de grupo para evitar instalaciones de software. Debe ponerse en contacto con su departamento de TI. Dropbox no podrá ayudar con esto.

Moving your thread to the API forum.

If the files are actually changing, you can't. They have to finish syncing. Are you sure it's actually re-syncing all your files, and not just re-indexing them? If CleanMyMac cleared personal settings, and the Dropbox database was part of that, to Dropbox it would be as if you had a new installation and it would need to…

Dropbox does not alter your files so it likely has nothing to do with the error. All Dropbox does is sync the file from one computer to another. The file is the same on both ends. You appear to be referencing an external file in the formula. Office usually uses the full path to a file, and the full path to a file stored in…

There's no command line option that I'm aware of, and the API doesn't interact with the Dropbox client.

They have been removing shortened links from Dropbox over the last couple of years. They very likely will not add a feature that they have spent the last two years removing. The last (it seems) location that can create shortened links is within the v1 API (which is likely how SnagIt does it). The v1 API is deprecated and…

First, please refrain from using that kind of language on this public forum. Continuing to do so could see your posts removed or your forum account suspended. Thank you. Your post has been edited.

Uninstall Dropbox if it's installed. Rename your existing Dropbox folder to Dropbox_OLD or similar. Reinstall Dropbox and select the location that you want for the Dropbox folder. Keep in mind that external drives are NOT recommended as data loss can occur under the right conditions. When the installation is finished,…

Actually, you can, depending on the platform you're referring to. You'll need to create a shared link to the video, then modify the link by changing the ?dl=0 at the end to ?raw=1. That results in a direct link to the file which you can use to embed it on most sites. Just remember that when embedding a file like that (or…

For future reference... First step when there's a problem with a website (any website) is try a different browser. This is a test to determine if it's a site problem or a browser problem. If the issue only happens in one browser, then the next step is to clear the cache/browsing history within that browser. Assuming…

You said that Dropbox was taking over the download, which looked like you meant the Dropbox APP was taking it over. The dropboxusercontent "site" that you're referring to is the URL that is used when someone creates a public link to one of the files in their Dropbox account. Dropbox is not taking anything over. The file…

Click the question mark in the lower right corner, then select Keyboard Shortcuts. The popup that opens can be scrolled for the entire list.

Try asking on an Android-specific support forum.

I don't know if that's the intended outcome or not, but it would make sense. The files aren't in Explorer anymore, so Windows might not be able to index them.

No. I use an iPhone.

The viewer that's built-in to my device's operating system.

At one point you likely told it to open in the app, so now it's doing it by default. Look in the upper-right corner of the app and you'll see a link to dropbox.com. Tapping that will open the link on the Dropbox website.
