@"sclippy08" wrote:However, when I go to the new person's DB, the folder is not there. Does the folder appear on their Sharing page?

@"Pine Man" wrote:Why ask those questions? It's common practice to provide a changelog with new versions of a piece of software, which Dropbox used to provide with each release. Think of this as our (mine and @"Mark"'s) protest and reminder to them that they stopped doing this, and we'd like to see it back again.

@"scarecroe" wrote:However, how do I remove the "Suggested from your activity" area on Desktop? (Windows, Firefox, latest versions)

@"HP6" wrote:In a perfect world two persons can enter data and/or make changes onto the same QuickBooks account and that information uploads automatically (syncs) to the other person's version of QB but it's not working all of the time. You don't want to use Quickbooks (or any other type of database) with multiple people…

@"Marj5" wrote:I don't know how to safely disable Malwarebytes. Just disable it or exit the application. It's just a test, and unless you're actively downloading files from some nefarious source, there's little risk.

@"raihan ahmed1" wrote:Thank you Rich but my dropbox folder was not in sharing Also, don't think of it like sharing. You were invited to join another person's Dropbox team account. By accepting, you merged your entire account into theirs. As Mark stated, at that point, they became the owner of your account. This isn't the…

@"raihan ahmed1" wrote:Last month someone shared some data to me on dropbox and after downloading them I asked him withdraw the sharing but by mistake he suspended my account ... It sounds like you were invited to and then removed from a Business team account, instead of a simple shared folder. You'll need to contact the…

@"H20SnowSki" wrote:I'd like to set up a dropbox for a class reunion where everyone can upload their photos. Does such a solution exist? You can use a File Request to allow people to upload files to your account. You could then share a link to the folder they're uploaded to so others can view them.

@"torero" wrote:I am not sure how you relate to the customer service from Dropbox as your messages indicates "WE". They don't work for Dropbox. They are relaying the content of the notice that Dropbox posted about the incident. * https://sign.dropbox.com/blog/a-recent-security-incident-involving-dropbox-sign

@"mjk3" wrote:someone is using my debit card for their account payments and i’ve been charged the last 2 months for it. Have you reported this to your bank? That's your first step. Dropbox can't charge your card if they don't have your billing information. If you didn't give it to them, someone else has and you need to…

@"Steve Raven" wrote:I just tried a couple of different URLs in a browser window. The link ending in raw=1 played immediately. So there you go, It's Dropboxes fault, and NOT the FV Player plugin If the links work when you test them in a browser, then they're working as expected. With that being the case, I'd say the fault…

@"H96Max" wrote: Usually the shared link ends with dl=0 by changing it to dl=1 downloads the file directly, but from today its not downloading!! Are you accessing the link directly in a browser, or are you using it in a plugin or extension for some web page or other type of service (rather than directly clicking the link…

@"K4Unl" wrote:I have reinstalled Dropbox, and pointed it to the old dropbox folder. I never point Dropbox to an existing folder. The process that I use and has always worked flawlessly is to first rename the existing Dropbox folder to Dropbox_OLD or similar, then reinstall Dropbox and let it create a new Dropbox folder in…

@"I am not able to login" wrote: My old email id is not able to recover because of that I am not able to see security code so can u tell me how to login without security code You can try contacting Support, but without access to the email account you may not be able to gain access to the Dropbox account. You need to…

@"Steve Raven" wrote:I'm running a couple of WordPress websites and using the FV Flowplayer plugin to show off my Dropbox videos. ... I get an error message: html5: Video not found ... Do the links work if you paste them into a browser window directly? If so, then it's likely an issue with how the player tries to access…

@"layneheb" wrote:Is there a way to quickly access that? I don't know where to find that page in my account if I ever need it in the future. Just bookmark the URL. The link was removed from the Dropbox website a long time ago (for what reason, no one knows).

@"John G" wrote:The subsequent download was fine but I now want to download the folders that were de-selected. You can go into your Selective Sync settings and check the folders that you want to sync back to your computer. Anything with a check will sync. Anything without a check will stay on Dropbox.com. *…

@"Tcalvins" wrote: I can’t find the Invite buttons to invite someone to upload a file What buttons? How, exactly, are you trying to do this? If you just need someone to upload a file to you and they don't need to be able to access it after they upload it, just send them a File Request. *…

@"musialri" wrote:I logged onto dropbox.com to search the deleted files and there is no history of these files being deleted on dropbox.com. What does your Events page show?

@"Gareth_Rees" wrote:They are not the same (clever guess!) I will make them so and see what files I can see then. It means you're signed in with two different accounts. Sign out of Dropbox on your computer and then sign back in with the same email address that was displayed on your iPad.

@"Gareth_Rees" wrote:I cam still (thank goodness) see them from my iPad ... I was not able to see any of my files at dropbox/home, nor anything in Events. While signed in to your account on Dropbox.com and not seeing anything on the Events page (just to confirm again), go to your account settings and check the email…

@"winggee" wrote: However the last few days he’s been saying that the link says that the file has been deleted. See my reply above. Try pausing Dropbox before saving, and resuming it after, and I bet the link remains.

@"nlocke81079" wrote: I shared it with edit rights. Those I've share it with can add photos and see the ones I've uploaded. I just cant see theirs. Check the folder on the Dropbox website. If you don't see the files they've uploaded, then they haven't uploaded any files to your folder. If this is the case, let us know the…

@"vaizor" wrote:How can I undo this absolute mess of a change. You can't revert to the former backup functionality, but that's really a good thing because it wasn't really a backup. All it did was MOVE your key folders into the Dropbox folder so they could sync. It wasn't a true backup. Now, it is, or at least a step or…

@"ldiamond99" wrote:Alternately, if I were to do it through sync on the Desktop, can I then make those files online only after they've synced? Yes, you can right-click on a file or folder and select Make online-only. Remember that when you do this, the file or folder will still APPEAR on your local drive but it doesn't…

@"ldiamond99" wrote:How can I direct the web app to sync with this external drive? Dropbox will only sync the files that are located in the Dropbox folder. You either need to move/copy the files from your external drive into the Dropbox folder on your local drive and allow them to sync, or you can use the Backup feature to…

@"BryanmMac" wrote:Here is what I see: Click the Manage backups button... THEN what do you see?

Just to clarify, I will:- delete Dropbox\Documents - move c:\Users\xxxxx\Documents folder to Dropbox\ If you already have a Documents folder in Dropbox and that's the folder you want to use, then just use the Location option in Windows (that I linked to previously) to specify that folder as the location for Documents.…

@"DolphinRadio" wrote:One station staff member, however, uploads her files to Dropbox.com, but they never show up in the local folder ... First make sure she's not using any characters in the file name that would be illegal on your operating system. For instance, if she's on a Mac and you're on a PC, she can use certain…

@"giambu" wrote:... in 1 hour I'll need to switch the pc off. Will I be able to do that and continue tomorrow or another day? If you're syncing files using the Dropbox application installed on your computer, then yes, you can shutdown your computer and Dropbox will continue to sync the next time you turn it on and Dropbox…
