Rich Super User II

Using the Dropbox website, it will only render as HTML if you access the file using a share link (and slightly modify the share link as well). Here's an example: * https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uywg97ipj1o1t6e/index.html?dl=0 Of course, when you create a share link to a file, anyone that has that link is able to…

That feature has disappeared! That feature has not disappeared. Double-clicking the Dropbox icon in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) still opens the Dropbox folder. A single-click will open the Dropbox app. If this isn't happening for you, download the latest release and uninstall/reinstall.

However, as of this morning, both of my computers will not respond when I double click on the Dropbox icon in the system tray. That functionality has changed. Double-clicking the icon no longer opens the Dropbox folder. See here for more information: *…

It's not a hidden folder, but a symbolic link, at least that's what it should be. When Dropbox renames the folder to Dropbox (Personal) or Dropbox (Company Name), it creates a symlink to that folder using the Dropbox name. So while you see your folder renamed to Dropbox (Personal), it remains accessible using that name or…

The folder cannot be renamed. If it's that critical, uninstall and reinstall Dropbox. Uninstall the Dropbox client. Rename your Dropbox (Personal) folder to something else (just in case) like Dropbox_OLD. Reinstall the Dropbox client. Once installed it will immediately start to sync your files from the cloud. Either pause…

How are you uploading the file and what errors are you getting? If you're trying to upload the file through the website you won't be able to as it has a file size limit of 10GB. For files larger than 10GB you need to download and install the Dropbox client. This will create a local Dropbox folder on your computer and sync…

It would be best if you didn't. You would be sharing the inappropriate content with others. If you haven't already, send it to abuse@dropbox.com. You could also try opening a ticket with Support for faster action.

If so, how did you solve the problem with the end users who are out of the office and use laptops to gain access to the DropBox folder on the file server in the office? You would have to provide them with some means of remote access to the file shares on that server. Most companies would provide VPN access to the corporate…

When I start the video it only last for 15 minutes. That is by design. What you're watching on the Dropbox website is a transcoded preview of the video, limited to 15 minutes of playback. To watch the entire video you need to download it to your computer first. Can't I just stream it without having to save it??? Not for…

Doesn't make sense at all because unlinking a device does not delete files.

Dropbox is installed per user. If you want to be certain you can just unlink the unwanted installation instead of uninstalling if you want. Go to the link below and read the section titled Unlink your Windows computer from the desktop application. * https://www.dropbox.com/help/25

First, make sure that both accounts are using a separate Dropbox folder. The Dropbox folder is normally installed to your user profile, so unless you did something to point both installs to a single folder, they're likely already separate. Just make sure first. Once you're certain that they're using separate Dropbox…

Why does the app stop uploading even when the Background App Refresh is turned on? Because Apple only allows background apps 10 minutes of execution time before being forcefully suspended.

Ask the owner of the shared folder how big it is. If Dropbox is telling you that you can't accept it, then it is larger than the amount of available space you have in your account.

If you're receiving this notice in an email, it's likely fake, meaning not actually from Dropbox. Forward it to abuse@dropbox.com and just go about your normal Dropbox business.

If it's an email it's likely a fake one. Forward it to abuse@dropbox.com.

Rick, Please stop posting links to unofficial download sites. You shouldn't trust any installer that doesn't come from it's original source. With all the viruses, trojans and malware out there (ESPECIALLY the many crypto trojans!), it's just not worth the risk. I've removed the link from your post. Thank you. The offline…

I realize the Documents and Data referenced are most likely the result of recent files being cached by the app Yes, that's correct. is there any way to manually clear that cache? Or set a limit of cache size? No, there isn't. They will be removed automatically. Currently, uninstalling and reinstalling the app is the only…

What he's seeing is just the file preview. Have him click the blue Download button in the top right corner of the page. It will download the original PPT file. If he uses the browser's save functionality all he will be saving is the PDF preview.

Once you've invited them to the folder, they should be able to accept it from the Sharing page.

So, since my partner accesses our shared dropbox folders with his Mac, and I access them with my Windows machine it seems there is no solution to getting rid of those files, right? If your partner stores his Dropbox folder on a partition type that doesn't support extended file attributes (such as FAT32, which most external…
