PhilR wrote:The files are located in Dropbox and only accessed as needed. Only accessed BY YOU as needed, but what about anything else? Any service that tries to interact with the files would cause them to download back to your local drive. A backup, antivirus scan, etc. Anything that touches the file will cause them to…

Check the defaults for sharing as well, in your account settings. * https://www.dropbox.com/account/sharing

Faith A wrote:There is no support for security breaches. Yes, there is. As Mark stated, you can visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not…

Are you sending the message directly to the Dropbox-generated email address, or are you using a forwarding email? It will only work if you send the message directly to the email…

boohah wrote:I used to share large folders of content without an issue, but now there's all these barriers to uploading and using it. This is definitely within the last two years Mark is correct. Shared folders have always worked this way. Nothing has changed in the way shared folders work for as long as I can remember. If…

HelioPause wrote:Could anyone suggest how can I delete/remove some or all of the Dropbox content menu entries in Windows? There's no option in Dropbox to alter the context menu items.

Have you just tried to copy and paste your image into the reply window? That works as well and that's usually how I do it.

Rashy90 wrote:Dropbox is too expensive ... when other service providers, including Apple, offer much cheaper options like 50-200GB, which are FAR more reasonably balanced. And nearly all the other major cloud storage providers subsidize their storage offerings through other products. Google has their ad business, Apple…

Jazdude wrote:I have tried to download a large file shared with me from a client a number of times and every time it is about to finish the folder gets corrupted and I get a suspension from Dropbox? If you're downloading from someone else, then it's their account that has reached their bandwidth limit, not you. They may…

gtakreyz wrote:Has something changed in the way Dropbox works? Yes, but it happened years ago. Previously, regardless of when a file was changed, you could always recover the previous version of a file when that file was changed within the last 30 days, even if the version you were recovering was from more than 30 days…

GregP1 wrote:Today I recommended Dropbox to one of my students, while he was here with his laptop, so I could see and make sure that everything was done right.

Syakir wrote:Already do that and still all my folder missing Already did what? Please be specific. Did you reach out to the team admin of the Business account? If so, what did they say?
