@"Bob C.4" wrote:Why should i install the “new” backup which will undoubtedly have things in error and will lead to user confusion ?? Backup is just a feature, not a new or separate app. You don't need to use the feature if you don't want to.

@"LeoneAC" wrote:You were totally right! It turns out that both emails I've tried so far was already registered in DropBox. So... I had to use a third one. Thank you so much! If the other accounts aren't needed, you can delete them or change the email address on them and that will free up their original email for use on…

@"LeoneAC" wrote:I am trying to change my email by the common procedure, however it shows a red "X" (with no error message) and doesn't let me change my email address... Could there be another Dropbox account already associated with your new email address? Try to sign in, resetting the password if needed, with your new…

@"bufordr1" wrote:How can I contact support when they are charging me $22/mo, but I am at Basic so don't have any support? Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to…

@"AttilaH" wrote: I wanna delete old photos from camera uploads, but dont want them to be syncronized once again. Camera Uploads won't upload a photo or video that it uploaded previously, even if you delete the files from Camera Uploads in your account. The only way for it to re-upload previously uploaded files is to have…

@"TaylorEST" wrote: I don't remember what files I had waiting to load so I'm hoping there's a way to restore the queue. There isn't. You'll need to upload the files again.

@"ShadowboomTH" wrote:I delete my dropbox business account which have been using as a Admin for dropbox for team for a while. ... my team is in locked state. Does the admin account for the Business Team still exist? If so, you may have some options. * https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/team-locked-state If the admin…

@"NatD" wrote:Unable to uploading into shared folder even though plenty of space Do YOU have plenty of space? You're not uploading to the other person's account. If you're a member of a shared folder you have your own copy of the share in your account, taking up space, and you need enough available space in your account to…

@"EttoreC" wrote: Does Boxifier app work with Dropbox? Or does he work on his own? Boxifier is a third-party app that works in conjunction with Dropbox. It allows you to sync folders outside of your local Dropbox folder, which Dropbox doesn't do. Dropbox can only sync the files and folders in the local Dropbox folder.…

@"DoctorBashir" wrote:I then copied the shortcut to DB into the Std user's startup folder. Don't copy or change the original shortcut. The installer and update process tends to replace them with each install or update. Instead, make your own shortcut to the Dropbox executable. If it continues to get deleted, it's not…

@"AmyP2019" wrote:I can log in, but I cannot see my files because I cannot verify the account address. If you're able to sign in, you shouldn't need to verify your email address to see your files. How long has it been since you last signed in to the account?

@"DaveLeeNC" wrote:How do I create a link to an HTML file in my Dropbox account that, when viewed by a non-Dropbox user, will be rendered as a webpage and not as raw HTML? That's not possible. Dropbox removed the ability to render HTML years ago. * https://help.dropbox.com/share/force-download

@"gmalette" wrote:The basic account needs to be for (4) devices, as everyone has a home PC, laptop, phone and iPad. Is Dropbox considering doing this, and what is the timeline? Not everyone has a desktop, laptop, phone and tablet. In fact I'd wager very few, comparatively speaking, have all of those devices. It's doubtful…

@"Michael_W_G_Kelly" wrote:How do I move or copy ALL items from my <OneDrive> to my new Dropbox directory <OneDrive Copy>? If both services are installed on your computer and syncing to the local drive, just copy or move the files from one folder to the other. If you don't have both applications syncing all of your files…

@"enigmachrysalis" wrote:In previous versions I know there was at least a 'Public' folder (and there was a "Getting Started' PDF as well.) Do you mean there are no others in addition to that? No. I mean there are no files or folders at all in a newly created account. The Public folder hasn't been used in 12 years (Oct 4,…

@"enigmachrysalis" wrote:So... what are the folders that appear when you sign up for a new Dropbox account before you modify any names or upload/sync any files to the cloud? There are no default folders created for a new account.

@"EttoreC" wrote: I've installed Dropbox on drive C: and I've another disk named D:. I've documents data on disk 😧 but isn't possibile upload data in cloud and synchronize automatically them from this disk.

@"EttoreC" wrote: I've installed Dropbox on drive C: and I've another disk named D:. I've documents data on disk 😧 but isn't possibile upload data in cloud and synchronize automatically them from this disk. If you're referring to using the Backup feature to back up your keys folders (such as Desktop, Documents, etc.), then…

@"Mike_PhotographicCrea" wrote: What I do need is for the default to become more than seven days. Does anyone know how to change the default? There doesn't appear to be an option to change the default. If you need a longer window, you'll need to change the expiration each time you create a transfer.

@"mancapec" wrote:If I delete a photo from the photo folder on my phone I would like it to also be deleted from the folder on dropbox. No, that's not possible. The Camera Uploads feature will upload photos and videos automatically to your Dropbox, but that's it. Dropbox doesn't sync the deletions you make in your photo…

@"SBNL" wrote:All I want to do is browse a folder full of images ... in FULL SCREEN with the dark background and have it STAY in full screen mode as I hit the arrow key to move to the next image. You mean like this?

@"headhead4" wrote:When I go to my plan, it says I have 6gb out of 6gb being used. You have 5.9GB of data in shared folders which is filling your account to near capacity.

@"Roxy1988" wrote: I should be signed in via google on both. This could be the issue as well. I've seen posts here from people that start out using their Gmail address to sign in (NOT the Sign in with Google option) and then later choose the Sign in with Google option and end up creating a new account.

@"Jmb825" wrote: Have received 100's of emails from purported Dropbox users asking to be removed from a mailing list. Are the emails coming in from dropbox.com email addresses? If not, it's unlikely that Dropbox can do anything about it if they're not the ones generating the emails. Can you paste the content of one of the…

@"Taravera" wrote:Actually… when I clicked on the blue Deleted Files link in your message it took me to my account online and the menu did appear there, but it doesn’t on the app. It doesn't exist in the app. You can only access Deleted Files through the Dropbox website.

@"Cloudie" wrote: ... I am struggling to download a big folder from my account webpage. If you have the Dropbox application installed on your computer, are you not able to sync the folder normally, instead of downloading it manually? If I try to select all the files and hit download I get an error message saying it can't…

@"Taravera" wrote:Please can anyone tell me where I can find the Recycle Bin now? I used to be able to find it easily. Do you mean the Deleted Files page? If so, it hasn't changed or moved. You can find it on the left side of the page when signed in to your account.

@"melissam4" wrote:Hey i deleted a lot of files from my dropbox to get some space, but it keeps telling me that my space is nearly full ... Checked your Backups page yet? When does it show for your actual usage on your Plan page? Provide a screenshot if you can. It should look like this:

@"Vitaaliy" wrote:Sorry for the text format. The option: insert/edit image - does not function at all... It does function, but in the past you needed to be at least a Level 3 user before it was available. I don't know if that's still the case.
