ImgnPixel wrote:However, the folder icon still shows the two silhouettes of people (the shared folder icon), even though I’ve removed all access. The folder is still shared, with you as the only member. You need to unshare the folder.

Michael Leddy wrote:I think you need to make it possible for users to rename devices to make device names meaningful/intelligible. That used to be possible but the option was removed long ago. Also, Dropbox isn't adding .lan to the name. That would be your local network name, so it's either being added by macOS or your…

First step, use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the account that you're paying for and confirm it's the same account that you're signing in to now.

Aumen wrote:I dont want to use a different browser. It's meant as a test. If you try it in another browser and it works, you know the problem is browser related and it narrows down where you need to look.

ThaboW wrote:A colleague at a research institution told me that he has the DB Plus option with 2TB space, and it allows him to share a folder with his team, without the contents in the folder counting towards their basic accounts. That's not accurate. If you share a folder with someone it WILL take up space in their…

vicw wrote:I didn't think Dropbox folder on Desktop Dropbox required the same size as the folder I'm trying to upload. It absolutely does. The Dropbox folder on your computer is just a regular folder like any other. Any files you copy or move into it take up space on your local drive. After a file has finished syncing you…

MultiKoopa wrote:Just... nothing. Exit the Dropbox application from your system tray and try it again. If you get the same result, it's likely nothing to do with Dropbox.

MultiKoopa wrote:I am unable to shift+delete any folder inside my dropbox folder so I can skip the recycling bin. What happens when you try? The "delete for everyone" dialog shouldn't have any impact on the ability to permanently delete a file or folder in Explorer. I do it all the time and I also checked the box to never…

rwright wrote:Should I see a folder on my phone that says "camera roll"? That depends on the iOS version on your phone. Previously all photos and videos that you took were saved to the Camera Roll, but with iOS 18 Apple has changed that and the Camera Roll no longer exists. Instead, all photos and videos you take go to the…

mcastellanos-smedleys wrote:Once I see the previous message indicating that all files are synced on my computer Just to be clear, that doesn't mean all files are synced on your computer. It simply means that all syncing is complete and your files are up to date. If you have any files set to Online-only, they're not on your…

It's actually in place to prevent people from stacking accounts to gain unlimited space.

Melancho wrote:My available space is 6,75 GB but that doesn't matter because it's the map of someone else! It does matter, actually. When you accept a shared folder, you receive your own copy of that folder in your account, so you need to have enough available space in your account before you can accept that folder. *…

Joe M.10 wrote:It shows my Dropbox user ID in the permissions box, but only with "can edit" as the only option ... Go to your Sharing page and click the ellipsis next to the folder in question. Do you see an option that says Remove from Dropbox?

theexperimentpublishing wrote:This needs a "don't remind me again" option. Am I missing some way to turn this off? There usually is a checkbox with something along the lines of "Don't ask me again." I'm guessing it's not there because you're in a shared folder but I can't be certain. The only way to prevent the dialog is…

WreckItTim1 wrote:My only guess, is it is some how syncing deleted files as well? Deleted files don't sync. They don't exist on your devices at all. Deleted Files only exist in your account online. Does it actually say downloading? If so, you likely have more than 10,000 files in your account.

Derek Who wrote:If the dropbox server hard drives where you saved my files get corrupted, do you have a backup or are my files lost? Don't think of the Dropbox servers like a regular computer with regular drives, or that your files are stored the same way as on your computer. That's not how cloud or enterprise storage…
