@"ianshere" wrote:Not even vaguely close to my limit - 2.22Gb of 11.38Gb Dropbox reports. Where are you seeing a message about being out of space? Do you have a screenshot of that message? ... when trying to copy a single small file - 3-400kb - it failed again. Do you have a screenshot of the exact error you're receiving?

@"Big Slim" wrote:Surely there's still hope if I can see the files on the events page, right? If it's beyond 30 days, there's nothing that can be done as the files are already gone. The Events page is just a log. It's not indicative of the files still existing on a server somewhere.

@"abo8" wrote:Without another link, what is the email address to support for a paid account? There is no email or ticketing service on the page linked to in this article. There is no email address. All support options available to you can be found on the Support page. If you have a paid account, you need to be signed in to…

@"CAB2k" wrote:Now I want to make the C: drive working folder(s) to automatically backup/sync to Drop box for others with a share link to get the latest files. That's not how it works. Dropbox will only sync the files that are located within the Dropbox folder on your local drive. If you've copy/pasted files into the…

@"Caren43893" wrote:In the free account I have placed one main file, and there are four subfiles inside it. * Yes. * Yes. * Yes. * They can just use the Dropbox website if they don't want to install the application. * No. Whatever access they have to the main folder, they will have for all subfolders.

@"RHimadiiev" wrote:is it possible to get the dropbox link to the file selected in th finder with no right click menu? Shortcuts, Apple Scipt or Automator maybe? The only supported methods are through the right-click menu, using the Dropbox API, or using the sharing options on the Dropbox website.

@"Patsycola" wrote:... are you saying that all the amendments to that folder should be carried out in the actual Dropbox folder rather than the one on the laptop? The Dropbox folder is on your laptop. Anything in that folder sync with your account online. Add or change any file in that folder and it will sync to the…

@"elh1" wrote:I am having a similar issue. Won't this result in data loss? No, it won't result in data loss. You would need to leave your account over quota for an extended periods (months?) before Dropbox started to remove files, and even then it would notify you several times before doing so.

It's been flagged with Engineering. If we hear anything back we'll update this thread.

It would seem that there's currently an outage. A File Request that I use for testing produces the same blank white page.

@"solo_here" wrote:I can't find any "events" pages. * https://www.dropbox.com/events

@"sophiepajak123" wrote:How do I allow it to sync through my computer? I've not done that before. Do you have the Dropbox application installed on your computer? If so, it's probably already syncing. If not, install the Dropbox application and a Dropbox folder will be created on your local drive. Your files will sync down…

@"sophiepajak123" wrote:... when I click to download it just downloads to 39Gb and then stops. If you have an Essentials account with enough space in your account, use the Save to Dropbox option to save the file to your account, then allow it to sync to your computer through the Dropbox application. It's much more…

@"jrkrideau" wrote:I still have no where my first post went ... You said it appeared in your email. Did you click the link to take you to the post? Like Walter mentioned, the only posts I see for you are the ones in this topic.

@"jusegur" wrote:I am having the same exact problem and I cannot seem to figure out how to solve it yet What, exactly,, is the problem you're having? This topic refers to an older version of the Backup feature. The current Backup works differently.

@"icab_80" wrote:Ideally what I want is to completely disable Google Sign-In ... There is no option for that within Dropbox. Auto sign-in is disabled ... Despite this, it still lets me auto sign-in in the Dropbox app. This sounds like an issue with your Google account or phone, rather than a problem with Dropbox. If you're…

@"icab_80" wrote:Yes, the phone is secured with the usual screen lock, but if someone were to bypass that ... Disable the auto sign-in on your Google account so you have to provide confirmation before signing in, use a secure passcode for the device itself, and don't use SMS for the Dropbox two-step verification. Use an…

@"Dan Laferriere" wrote:I'm assuming you want a screen shot of the page I get InPrivate mode. It looks like you're pasting it into the search field of the Bing search engine, and not the address bar at the top of the window.

@"icab_80" wrote:There must be something that I'm doing wrong, because otherwise it's a massive security problem. Are you not securing the device itself?

@"univerzitka" wrote:Is there any way I can solve this problem ? Refer to my original reply to you above.

@"1000songs" wrote:Why can't I just drag or choose a file?! You usually can. This will sound crazy, but can you take a screenshot of what you see and post it here? lol Seriously though, take a screenshot, save it in your Dropbox and create a link to it. Post the link here. I'm curious what that source/description window…

@"1000songs" wrote:how on earth do you upload a screenshot here?

@"admin123" wrote:Any idea where to ask if microsoft is going to solve this? any forum links? I'd start with the support options listed on the Dropbox connector page. * https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/dropbox/

@"admin123" wrote:will this be fixed every? It would be up to Microsoft to fix it. Dropbox changed the folder structure of Team accounts. Microsoft will need to update their integration to work with the new structure.

@"VeraP" wrote:It is deleted for a few seconds and then pops back again. I have been able to delete a few files INSIDE the folder but not the folder itself. This usually means that the folder or a file within it could not be deleted on one of your devices. You delete the folder and that deletion syncs to Dropbox. Dropbox…

@"icanplan" wrote:What you just told me is that to reverse that process, that I have to do these things in batches. It depends on what your goal is. If you're adding this new laptop to your account and you want to continue syncing your files, but to an external drive, then Jay's method is what you want to follow and it…

@"icanplan" wrote:My old laptop died and i want to download every file on DB to an external drive connected to this laptop . How do i do that in one or two moves. Dropbox doesn't have that capability. You can download your files from the Dropbox website and save them directly to your external drive, but you'll need to do…

@"camila51" wrote:It was on October 25, 2023 ... If possible, even if it is necessary to subscribe to a more expensive plan, I would really like to have the files As @"Mark" stated, if that was when the account was delete, it won't be possible. Once an account has been deleted, it's not possible to recover the files that…

@"univerzitka" wrote:I want to send them links but at the same time I want to know which mail(user) is using the file so the person must authetificate somehow. You have to decide which is more important; the ability to disable downloads, or the ability to track the usage. You can invite someone to a file with view-only…
