@"jimmermaine" wrote:I'm guessing there's a way for you to set up a "DROP ONLY" folder so I can upload to someone's account without it appearing in my quota. Yes, the intended recipient can create a File Request which will allow you to upload directly to their account, without impacting your own.

@"Julie39" wrote:Let's think this through, Mark ... Mark is correct. If you didn't provide your billing information to Dropbox, then someone else has. You need to use the link that Mark provided to look up the account that you're being charged for. If it's not an account you recognize, you need to contact your bank first,…

@"jayeff" wrote:... it says version can be found in Preferences "at the bottom of the dialog box (underneath Language)". Not for me, it can't! You can just hover your cursor over the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac). The version is also shown in Preferences on the General tab, in the…

@"Rob M1" wrote:This makes no sense. It is only happening on one of our computers. All of our other 5 computers show the status with the file name. Your other 5 computers haven't yet received the update for Windows. When they do, they'll have the same status column. There's no way to revert back to the previous behavior,…

@"prabhat1999" wrote:how to seach with tag name Just to be clear, are you asking how to perform this search on the Dropbox website in your browser, or are you using an app or other programing to do the search?

@"Fay3" wrote:... the webpage doesn’t show cancel the plan in the manage plan subpage. What plan does it say you're on when you view the Plan page? If it says Basic, then the account you're signed into is on a free plan that doesn't have a subscription, which would explain why the option to cancel isn't there. There's…

@"rosner" wrote:It appears that the problem stems from each user having a unique home folder name. Dropbox, unable to locate the identical home folder name, breaks the links. You're correct that the issue is due to having different home folder names. The reason this happens is because most applications, when embedding…

@"JimmyInTN" wrote:When I log in to the Dropbox website though, My Documents is not listed. Perhaps the folder wasn't syncing? How, exactly, was your Documents folder hosted on Dropbox? What steps did you take to do it?

@"rpmyer" wrote:They also sent them out knowing that link was a virus. No, they didn't. An automated system continued to send emails, and it had no idea that it was a virus. I logged many claims, nothing was done for 123 hours. HOW did you file those claims? Did you open a ticket with Support? If so, what are those ticket…

@"B Freddie" wrote:Is there any way to set up my app so that it ignores the SD card reader unless I request otherwise? Dropbox doesn't do this by default.
