Rich Super User II

CTRL-left click, Exit Dropbox. That's all that's needed. No pop-up, no confirmation. The app just closes. Additionally, if you're shutting down the computer, there's no need to exit the Dropbox application. It will close on its own. The application is meant to stay running all the time, so I can understand with the wanting…

cdordelly wrote:Is there any way to share a folder with email (instead of link) but without downloads permission? No. If you share a file or folder with a specific person (invited to the file or folder), they will have download access. There's no way to prevent that. Using a view-only shared link and setting link…

Also, please provide a screenshot of your usage details as shown on your Plan page. It should look like this:

The Space Usage shown on your Plan page is an accurate account of how much data you're using, and it's indicating that all of your space is being used by your regular files (not shares, backups, etc.). Are you sure you only have one folder remaining? If so, are you sure it only has 885 MB of data in it? Can you provide a…

If you're not using the Dropbox app and syncing files to your local drive, your options are the website where you'd have to download in batches, as you've discovered, or you can use a third-part utility. You can use a utility such as Cyberduck to…

I have iOS 26.3 as well on an iPhone 16 Pro Max and Dropbox version 460.2.2 installs without a problem.

Dropbox used to have that ability years ago but it was removed. With the length of the URLs increasing in recent years due to the change to the scl link format and the inclusion of the rlkey, it would be extremely beneficial for the link shortening service to return.

MW999 wrote:The overwhelming bulk of my storage is "backup", sure, but I had assumed my backup was indeed composed of files. Backups are accessed through the Backups page. Backups aren't stored with your regular files since you would normally only access a backup when you needed to recover it.

Mark is correct, but keep in mind that there are applications that, while saving, will delete the original file first and then save the new file with the same name. If your application works this way and Dropbox is fast enough to sync the deletion, then the link will change. If that happens, you can either pause Dropbox…
