Remember, Dropbox does not support external, networked or removable drives. While it can work, data loss has been known to occur when storing your Dropbox folder on such a drive. Make sure you have a good backup of your data because if it happens to you, Dropbox will not be able to help you.

Is there something I'm missing where I'm able to do this? Nope, you're not missing anything. That's how it is and there's nothing that can be done about it. It has been a problem for some time now.

The Dropbox home page and the pages for my various folders, etc., are all loading fine. Is there anything specific that you're all doing when you get the error? A certain link you're clicking on, or a specific feature you're trying to use?

Does the notification stay on my screen until I dismiss it? No. That's not the same as an email sitting in my inbox which I check regularly anyway. I've asked for this for years. Have you used the RSS feed yet? You can find it on the Events page.

How do I give the application global dropbox access? That's something specified by the developer at the time the application is created within Dropbox. Once an app has reached production status, its access type cannot be changed.

If you're getting a message that you can't share a folder because it contains or is a member of another shared folder, then there's another shared folder. It's as simple as that. Look at the Sharing page for a list of your shared folders. If there's one listed, even if you're not sharing it with anyone (i.e. you're the…

As has been stated numerous times, you cannot reactivate an account that has been deleted. It's gone the moment you delete it.

I should liked recover it or at least open a new account for this email (professional). You cannot recover an account that has been deleted. Nor can you recover files from a deleted account. Both are gone. You can probably create a new account using the email address of the deleted account as it's no longer active in the…

There's likely no way to recover the files. You deleted the account, so all files and history in that account were likely deleted as well. All you can really do is open a ticket and ask Support.

Turn off the screenshot feature of Dropbox within Preferences.

With the screenshot feature enabled they will always be uploaded to Dropbox. The CTRL key only determines if you created a share link to screenshot as well. Pressing Print (PRTSCN, etc.) by itself saves a screenshot. Holding the CTRL key will save a screenshot and create a share link to it automatically. There's no way to…

No, it can't. The normal Dropbox client does not work the same as the mobile clients, and there's no way to map a virtual drive or folder to your Dropbox account. If you're running Windows 8 or 10, you can install the Dropbox app from the Microsoft Store, which is a mobile client. Just know that you will not be able to…

Keep it civil, everyone, please. You can easily express your opinions of the service or company without resorting to abusive posts. Thank you.

Please can you give us a vague timeline Dropbox generally does not provide timelines for upcoming changes. We usually find out about them once they're released.

How are you trying to view the movie? Is this error coming from another application that you're trying to use to stream the video?

If she's referring to the Outlook app on her PC, why would she no longer have that just because she's changing email providers? She doesn't have to uninstall it, and could continue to access the PST files with it. If she's just talking about an Outlook.com account (which wasn't specified) then yes, the PST file will not…

Or you can use the tools you already have, for free, and export your mail items to an Outlook PST file. * https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Export-or-backup-email-contacts-and-calendar-to-an-Outlook-pst-file-14252b52-3075-4e9b-be4e-ff9ef1068f91 You'll be able to continue accessing the PST file in Outlook even when…

You can store them in a PST file that is stored in your Dropbox, but make absolutely certain that you close Outlook before you try to access the same PST file on another computer.

Are you doing that from the Dropbox website? If so, you would have to download each one individually, or each folder as a Zip file. You'll be better off copying the files from the Dropbox folder on your computer, which all your files will sync to if you install the Dropbox client.

There's no process built-in to Dropbox for what you're doing., but the Dropbox folder is no different from any other folder on your computer. Copy it to your external hard drive just like you would any other folder on your computer.

There is no option to remove it. Search the forums and you'll find a topic or two that contains some registry edits you can make to get rid of it, but I believe it just reappears on the next update.
