@"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…

@"univerzitka" wrote:Now the video on the link is not downloadable but at the same time with clicking on Aprove a I had to Share a File which sends another email to the person. I'm pretty sure you're using two mutually exclusive features. You can disable downloads on a view-only shared link, but when you explicitly invite…

@"aarceng" wrote:I want Dropbox to open automatically when I log into my work account but not when I log into other accounts. So far it seems I can have it open automatically for none or all. Disable the automatic start for all accounts, then create your own shortcut for Dropbox and place it in the Start Up folder for the…

@"DoctorBashir" wrote:It happened again! I created a new shortcut using the Explorer 'Create shortcut' as suggested. The shortcut worked for about a week, then it disappeared. What are you naming the shortcut? Name it My Dropbox or something other than just Dropbox. I know that was an issue when deleting and recreating the…

@"TomJoad71" wrote:For the files in my laptop hard disk that are saved and synchronized directly under the Dropx box folder, my impression is that a backup doesn't make sense ... That's more or less correct. The two functions, sync and backup, serve two purposes. If your files are already in your local Dropbox folder,…

@"Michel1955" wrote:Is it possible to hide the Dropbox folder in the File Explorer. Dropbox does not have such a feature. You'd have to use the options in your operating system or a third party app, if they exists, to do that.

@"dgallant" wrote:Does the Backup Product get exposed to synology at all, or just Dropbox? Just Dropbox. The only way to interact with the saved backups is through the Dropbox website.

@"Jagan Tirumalai" wrote:Currently does dropbox support SFTP thru api's in java(JSch) , c# etc? Dropbox does not support SFTP.

@"lc59" wrote:... no matter how hard I try to get to support I can't because I don't have an account with a subscription! You can still contact Support. They can help you cancel any future charges but it's highly unlikely that they'll refund 8 years of subscription fees just because you didn't realize what you were being…

@"KenUSMC" wrote:I just bought a new laptop. ... Is there a way to get a copy of the people that share my files onto the new computer? All you need to do with a new computer is install Dropbox and let your files sync to it. Nothing changes with your shares and you don't need to do anything with them. Everyone that had…

@"subarubi" wrote:It always asks me if I want to delete from dropbox everywhere after I move the files out. I got a new computer, and it doesn't ask to remove them ... Are you sure you're doing a move, and not a copy? Pay attention to the cursor while dragging the file and make sure it indicates a move, not a copy.

@"rgledhill" wrote:Actually it looks like both systems are renaming it ... If I go into my photo album on my phone, open a photo and tap on the i button, it says IMG_0513... That would be the typical behavior. The naming convention for manual uploads differs from automatic uploads. Neither format has changed recently.

@"uccio" wrote:What is the path so that I can control my back-ups in the future? There is no path for it. The Backups section isn't available within the folder structure of your account. It's only managed through the page that Nancy linked to. You can also access it through the menu in the upper-right corner of the page…

@"CLAL3" wrote:Therefore, even if you are indicating that you only support Windows 10 and 11, I believe there is some inconsistency in the information. I think it's pretty clear. Dropbox does not officially support Windows Server operating systems. Does it work? For the moment, yes, though it's not guaranteed and if you…

@"debbieo" wrote:This is used for a non-profit organization - we can't have this deleted! Do we need to upgrade to keep the account?? Basic accounts are meant for individuals. There are no admins and they don't have other members. Each account is for one person. If multiple people are sharing the same credentials to sign…

@"dnemes" wrote:While looking for a solution, I tried to see if setting some files offline or online via the right-click context-menu commands in Windows Explorer helps, but it didn't. Is the Dropbox application running? Check your system tray for the Dropbox icon and if it's there, check its status by hovering your cursor…

@"Hebephrene" wrote:Why would dropbox not use the universally accepted approach of a paper clip? Makes no sense. A paper clip icon would imply that you can attach any type of file. The forums only allow images, so the camera icon is used. Similar icons are used on most systems that only allow images or videos, and not all…

@"Hebephrene" wrote:Am I supposed to use the Link button? I don't see an icon for attaching the files? You can use the camera icon to attach an image. No I want to get the music files off my harddrive and onto the cloud as they are backups of the files I use with Media Monkey which I have stored on a portable hard drive.…

@"Annelien" wrote:I kept both accounts separated, but can't seem to sync both accounts to the desktop app. Did you link the accounts?

@"Annelien" wrote:I want to keep it separate. Only, if I can still view all of my folders and the folders of the company in the desktop app, it would be perfect. Read what I posted above, keep the account separate, then link the two accounts.

@"Annelien" wrote:I have a dropbox essentials plan. My company has a dropbox business plan and wants to add my account to it. Is this possible? If yes, what will change? First important part first. If you join the Business team with your existing account, you will merge your account into the team account, effectively…

@"casian1" wrote:Checking available offline in the APP itself was not enough For future reference, that setting doesn't effect the files that have already synced to your computer. It's only for new files that are added to your account from other sources (another linked device, the website, etc.). When set to Online, any…

@"LaEi" wrote: My DropBox contains 459 347 files so maybe it just takes a lot of time to resync? If your account contains a lot of files it will take a while to sync. Also, the performance of the Dropbox desktop app can decline if you have more than 300,000 files synced to your computer. This is a soft limit and depends…

@"rajeshdpujara" wrote: I am referring to authentication PIN .. just enter 4 digit pin in mobile application. No need of further sign in .. That's not signing in to your account. That's just unlocking the app. It has nothing to do with signing in or the security of your account. Once you've linked your device to your…

@"FlexAssistance" wrote:Is it possible that someone can look at my computer via TeamViewer to try to help? You really shouldn't be allowing ANYONE that you don't know into your computer in this manner. It's simply not safe to do so. Dropbox doesn't offer this and you shouldn't accept any offers to do so from others on this…

@"LaEi" wrote:I have installed DropBox but how do I now go about to synchronize files and folders between the cloud and the PC? If you've installed Dropbox, it should already be syncing your files and downloading them from your account online. Is that not happening? Is there anything in your local Dropbox folder (the new…
