Rich Super User II

You need to store the Dropbox folder in a location that all users will have access to. This is typically outside of the user profiles because other users cannot access the content of another user's profile. You could change the permissions so they could access another profile, but that's more trouble than it's worth. The…

You can reach out to Dropbox Support but I'm willing to bet that Gumroad will need to talk to them themselves. Any direct connection like that is handled using the Dropbox API (a programming interface available to third-party developers for integrating Dropbox with their own apps). It's the third-party developers that use…

How are you downloading the files? Is there some direct connection between Gumroad and Dropbox where the files are saved directly to your account Dropbox account? If so, only Gumroad will be able to help you as they're the ones that would have created that interface. Or are you downloading the files like you would any…

All devices linked to your account will upload to the Camera Uploads folder. This cannot be changed, and there is no way to differentiate between the photos/videos uploaded from multiple devices.

Seems to be working fine for me. I download a file in Chrome, select OPEN IN..., then Copy to Dropbox. Dropbox then prompts me to choose a folder and once I select Save the file is uploaded. Are these the steps you're taking? If so, are both Chrome and Dropbox up-to-date?

Question is, if db is running, will dragn-n-drop on the shortcut work? Yes, it will. It takes a second or two longer than dropping on to a regular shortcut to the folder, but it still works just the same.

There's no need to go through all of that just to get to your Dropbox folder. Double-click the "Dropbox" icon that's on your desktop. If Dropbox isn't running, it will launch it. If it is running, it will open your Dropbox folder. Also, double-clicking the icon in your system tray will open the folder location, as will…

I can't get them to play on Windows Media Play although it supposedly supports 3GP and MP4 File types (extensions) don't matter too much. It's the codec used to encode the video that matters most, and different codecs can (and often do) use the same file type. If you don't have the appropriate codec for your video…

No.

No, there isn't, and you just did (this post is already in Product Feedback).

Sounds like the owner of the file is sending you a public link rather than a shared link (Public links are for files located in their Public folder). Public links will download immediately. Only a share link will take you to the preview page where the Download button is found. Here's an example of both using the same file…

Make sure you're logged in to your Dropbox account, then click the blue Download button. You'll see an option to save the file to your Dropbox.

Yes, you are. I've moved your post to Product Feedback.

So I'm [censored]. First, watch your language here please. This is a public forum and language such as that could get your posts deleted or your account banned. Thank you. Western Digital (WD, not HP) says it is a problem with Dropbox, Dropbox says it is a problem with the Drive. It's most definitely an HP problem. The app…

Not that I've seen, no, at least not on the HP drives. There's another NAS with a Dropbox problem but the issue is in their app and the way it connects to Dropbox (I think they were using an older connection method that Dropbox no longer permits). It's possible (probable?) that it's the same problem for your HP NAS, but…

You'll need to continue working with HP on this I'm afraid. Dropbox wouldn't have created the app on that device; HP would have, using the Dropbox API. Only they can provide support for it.

The thread that you have posted the link to (which I had already read) is about how to clear the recent file list, not how to fix the undesirable behaviour. That thread started out that way, but changing the behavior is also included in the discussion (and the primary topic of that thread as you read further). It's also…

Keith, No one is ignoring the mobile apps. As I've already stated twice in this thread, which you've been through while up-voting, this thread is discussing the Recents tab on the website, which can already be disabled as default. I also posted a link to the thread discussing the mobile clients. I'll post it here again for…

It started as an Apple thread but quickly moved to cover all mobile apps. It's the largest and most appropriate thread on Recents in the mobile apps so it's the one we've been redirecting everyone to use. Doesn't make sense to have a separate post for each mobile app. On the website, which this thread covers, you can…

That currently works for web only and not mobile. To add to what Ed posted... This thread is referring to the Recents page on the Dropbox website; not the mobile clients. For further discussion about Recents on the mobile clients, please refer to the following thread: *…

if anybody picks up my tablet and opens Dropbox, they get to see whatever I'm working on For the time being, enable the feature that requires a PIN to open Dropbox. No one will be able to see your files if they open Dropbox.

Is there really no way to turn Recents off? No, there isn't. Bookmark the Files page and use that to enter the site. It looks like Dropbox might be changing that (it's already not the default for some people and mine has changed as well, though I was part of the beta). Give it some time and you may see that it changes back.

It was intended as harsh because the same argument has been made (by others as well) on the forums many times over the last couple of years. We like the changes that Dropbox gives us, but we want more control over them. Don't just assume that I want to start on the Recents page when I log in (I don't!) and allow us to set…

We're working on filtering out those junk files better. This is one issue I always seem to have with Dropbox. What would be a junk file to one person may be an important file to me. Don't decide what is or isn't junk for us. Instead, give us the ability to filter the results ourselves. Stop assuming that you know what's…

It can't be disabled and there's no way to clear the list. If you don't want to see it anymore, create a bookmark for the Files page and use it to enter the site. You'll bypass the Recents page that way.

@"michael": This is only going away for HTML files. Documents, images, etc., will continue to work as they always have. @"arturas": This thread has some alternatives for HTML files, at least one of which will sync with your Dropbox so you won't have to change storage providers (and note that other storage providers are…

With share links, yes, absolute URLs must be used, and you would need to create a share link for every files you reference. If you have a Public folder you can use relative URLs as long as all files are in your Public folder somewhere, but again, anything in that folder can be shared publicly. Note: The Public folder is a…
