Rich Super User II

@"DavidW1961" wrote:Is there a way to send a share link to a user who does not have a Dropbox account, but restrict the viewing to only that person? No, not really. The only way for Dropbox to be certain that someone is who they say is for them to have an account and sign in as that account. How else would Dropbox know,…

Use something like Cyberduck/Mountain Duck or CloudMounter to mount Dropbox as a drive, then copy from there direct to your external.

@"JohnnyGPulseJet" wrote:Anyway, what's the point of archiving if not to 'clear up' space in any way? Organization, decluttering.

@"Rob N." wrote:... on RDS only a couple of users use Dropbox and therefore everyone else is annoyed by this prompt every day. Disable the automatic start-up of Dropbox (which is system-wide), then create your own shortcut to Dropbox for the users that need it and place it in their personal Start Up folder.

@"dapike" wrote:Once the upload file has synced to my laptop (Windows 10, Dropbox 204.4.5420) it has the filename as noted. I'm not able to reproduce this, though I'm on iOS 17.6 and Dropbox 390.1.2 (a beta release).

@"kiwino" wrote:Previous versions of Dropbox could mirror the Mac OSX desktop to the Dropbox. Is this still possible? If so please explain how? The former version of the Backup feature MOVED your key folders (Desktop, Documents, etc.) into your Dropbox folder. It didn't mirror them. The folders were physically moved into…

@"wamsender" wrote: I deleted 90% of everything…and permanently deleted…and it still shows maxed out and now I can’t upload anything else. Checked your Backups page? Also note that you don't need to permanently delete files. Simply deleting them is enough to recover space.

@"jenfrentz" wrote: My account tells me that 80% of my space is used for "backup" but I am not backing anything up to my dropbox. How can I clear up this space? You likely enabled the Backup feature without realizing it. Check your Backups page.

You're really not providing enough information for us to be able to answer that. It's still not clear what type of account you had (i.e. individual or part of a Business team), and if it was…

@"nickwall" What indicator do you have that space has been removed? According to your screenshots, you've earned 12.38GB of space (presumably 12GB from referrals) and your account is showing 14.38GB of quota (2GB for the Basic account + 12.38GB bonus space).

@"vacmmc" wrote: ... the folders I selected I can only see online and so I can only add to them online as well. You didn't set them as online-only. You told Dropbox not to sync them to your computer.

@"mlhanke" wrote: I have a large external hard drive that I would like to put Dropbox on in order to free up the space on my PC hard drive. How do I do that?
