Unless you specify otherwise, your speed test will be run to a local server (speed tests sites always select a local server by default). For a more accurate result pick one close to the Dropbox servers which are in San…

That depends on your OS, where the files are located and how you dragged them. Most often, when the file or folder you're dragging in on the same drive as the Dropbox folder, you just drag it into the folder. This will move the files into Dropbox (you don't want to copy them in, because then you have two separate copies on…

It sounds like you're using your web browser and the Dropbox website to upload. Browser uploads and downloads are not resumable through the website. If you download and install the Dropbox client and put your files/folders in the Dropbox folder that gets created on your computer, they will be uploaded in 4MB chunks and…

That's not possible. The only permissions to a shared folder are full edit, or view-only. You cannot create a shared folder that allows uploads (basically, modify rights) without also allowing edit and delete capabilities. For uploads only, you can create a File Request. They will be able to upload files to your account,…

If the phone isn't appearing as an imaging device, then you likely don't have the correct drivers installed for it. That, or you haven't trusted the computer on the phone. Also, make sure you have the latest iTunes installed, then try again.

You'd have to ask Support.

That notification cannot be disabled.

Dropbox settings are stored in an encrypted database. They cannot be changed manually. The behavior you experienced is expected (with many applications, actually) because when installed, they all have references to the previous path for their support files in your profile. Simply renaming your account and home folder does…

That's actually not a Dropbox error. Most likely it's from Chrome, or another browser based on Chrome. One of your extensions/add-ons is probably blocking part of Dropbox. Clear your cache/browsing history and try again. You can also try Chrome in incognito mode, or try another browser.

You're not accessing the data in someone else's folder. You've been invited to the folder, so the folder will be added to your account. That can only happen if you have enough space in your account. * https://www.dropbox.com/help/59

This has been resolved. Please refer to the status page for updated information.

None. Might want to reach out to Support.

I want to clarify something... The suggestion I made did NOT involve a share link to the file (though share links are discussed on the same help article that I referenced). When you select a file and click share you now have two options; creating a link or inviting someone to the file. I am referring to inviting someone to…

You would need to create your own filters/lookups within Excel (or similar) to determine that information.

You could also use a task scheduler to start and stop the Dropbox executable on a schedule.
